Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with nice beds that are even more beautiful than the pictures. However, the outdated mattress in rooms not yet renovated since the 80s can be a downside. The service is a mix of friendly and effective, though some staff displayed unprofessional behavior. The location is great but somewhat isolated, creating a cozy vibe, yet limiting dining choices nearby. Overall, the dining options were satisfactory, especially at the steakhouse inn. The hotel facilities are decent, offering a good selection of amenities.
I stayed at Slopside and enjoyed the spacious two-bedroom unit designed for families. The housekeeping staff, although construction was ongoing, were sweet and accommodating. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable, but some areas needed additional cleaning and touch-ups.
