The interior of this hotel has been recently redone with tile floors and has a very European feel. I love that there is shelving - like an entire bookshelf - in the bathroom area for storing all of your travel gear and suitcases. When I checked in, they gave me a little brochure explaining how to use the room amenities along with QR codes for the websites to nearby attractions. I think one of my favorite things is that the room came with a softsided cooler that could be filled up with bottled water and ice in the lobby to take hiking. High altitude can really dehydrate you, so I love it that they are taking care of the physical well-being of their guests. Comfy bed and quiet. Cute place. Will definitely stay here again.
