Room was perfectly clean with a very comfortable bed. We requested extra pillows and they were brought over really quickly. We used the coffee and drop in breakfast in the morning which was handy and the staff were very friendly. A little bit of road noise but handy for getting to Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP.
