Nice clean spacious corner Mountain View room. Bathroom was modern and clean. Huge balcony with table and lounge area. Only drawback was lots of car traffic and noise on street which was not very relaxing. Also would’ve used the pool area but there was no jacuzzi and it was too cold to only use the pool. Overall very nice place to stay.
