The staff was excellent! I really took note of Jamie in the breakfast room. She seemed to really care about the guests and was quick to offer to help in any way possible. Our needs were treated as if they were personal to her. The room was clean and well appointed. Appreciated the two sinks, one outside the bathroom itself. Between the microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker and inroom ironing board, not to mention the large tv., there was nothing else you could ask for.

The room was very nice, very clean. Had the usual amenities. Breakfast was good enough. I felt it was a bit over priced at $375 for the night. I think due to a rodeo event and other things going on the price was raised for the weekend. I would easily stay there again, but not at that rate.

Very clean room and property. Knowledgeable staff. Downsides: room gets stuffy unless fan is running but save energy thermostats cuts off at night, hard to regulate room temperature. Breakfast on weekdays is late 6:30, should be 6am for guests that are not on vacation.
