Good

Very good

Liked: Great location, close to grocery stores, coffee places, and restaurants. The staff is very professional. Great value.

Very good

Liked: The staff is very attentive. Rooms are larger and neater than other similar hotels’ rooms. They even have hairdryer.
Disliked: We couldn’t control the temperature in the room. It was too warm. Also a few yellow light bulbs would be good. White lights make it look cheap.

Very good

Liked: Manager and attendant were great. We left a day early to avoid snow storm and traffic, and he gave us refund for one night. It was way too hot the first night, even after we turned the heater off. The next day we found another heater on another side of the room. But this is one of those "luxury problems". Wi-Fi and cable services were excellent.
Disliked: The room and the bathroom was kind of old, not sure if the owners can remodel it and keep the value for visitors, but it would be nice.

All you want from a...

Good enough for a short...

Liked: The room and facilities were adequate, there was no problem with space for the 2 of us and our luggage and snow gear. They had a coffee machine and some packets in the room which is always nice to have. Location is only about a mile away from Heavenly Village, and there's also a decent amount of restaurants and cafes nearby that are walking distance.
Disliked: Furnishings is pretty typical for a Travel Inn, so don't expect too much, but it was satisfactory to our needs. The shower water pressure could've been a little stronger. A problem that we had in our unit was that they left the heater on at full blast when we got in, and that heat persisted for so long through the night. I completely turned off the heater and turned a fan, and I couldn't get comfortable until about 2am. YMMV on this, and I think this was a case of the previous person leaving the heater to max, but I thought I'd mention it.
