We made the reservation only a few hours in advance and checked in late as we’d been driving all day. Christy (sp?) at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and clean and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was also large and bright and it was nice to shower off after a long, hot drive through NV.
