the location is great it saves driving time to the park. free parking is available. there is a shop with breakfast items for early risers. we had a great time there.
the pullout bed in our room was uncomfortable. it would have been helpful if the chalkboards included information about the park entrance being closed. the staff seemed inexperienced in handling unexpected problems.

I really enjoyed the hotel layout. The rooms were close to all facilities. I needed gluten free options, and the food was tasty (especially at dinner). A spa visit after long hikes was perfect.
The phone in my room didn't work. The light in the bathroom was flickering.
