Nice hotel with breakfast
Welcoming staff, nice breakfast with savory and sweet offerings. Only 1 coffee machine available all 3 mornings so long line was over 5 minutes as it is a busy tour pickup/drop off hotel. Large mall next door for any needs. Hotel is off the main highway into city center - 15 minutes no traffic, ~45 with traffic. The rooms facing the road provide a nice view of the mountains.

Great property. The staff was amazing and always available to assist. I would definitely stay there again. The only con I have is that it is a little distant from the city center. But fun to walk if you like walking to get your steps in.
