Well the real reason I chose this hotel was because it is pet friendly and I love taking our little pug everywhere we go! Was I impressed? Not overly. Would I stay here again? Probably.
I wasn't overly impressed with the check in clerk (we arrived around 9 pm Friday January 13). She was quite rude about us having our dog in a 'pet friendly' hotel. Not only did we book through the Red Carpet's own website, we booked the "pet friendly rate", and I included the details of our dog (size, breed, neutered etc.)
The room was mediocre at best, and really we are not that fussy! Everything was very old, the blankets were thin and a a disco floor style pattern. The ceiling fan was bent, their was a huge fluorescent light above the bed! The room and bathroom were over all very clean and well kept but this hotel is in dire need of modernization.
The only complaint I have about the bathroom was that they left used shampoo's in the tub! It was laid right on top of the clean towels and when I picked up the shampoo bottle it was half empty and there was a hair on it!! (I threw it away as I always pack my own anyways.)
As far as continental breakfast goes it was great. Good variety of beverages, cereal, bread and bagels were all fresh.
The location was fine though, close enough to walk down town, and over all we didn't spend a great deal of time in our room anyway because we were snowboarding all day Saturday and headed home Sunday morning.
