THE STAFF -- The desk staff are WONDERFUL -- they were extremely helpful and cheerful. The went out of their way to help me make some adjustments in my reservation (due to poor planning on my part). They were not only helpful -- but friendly and cheerful in the process. THE LOBBY -- was LOVELY THOSE were the things worth bragging on -- and bragging is well deserved. THE ROOM - roomy and clean but NOTHING to brag about. Pretty basic. Showing a good bit of age. Could have used some work. But nothing to prevent a good nights sleep. The bed was great. I was a bit concerned to find the exterior door (to the parking lot) did not lock. BUT -- I've stayed in plenty of places where your ROOM door opened onto the parking lot -- so ---- NOTE -- I am CERTAIN there are MUCH NICER rooms and suites in this facility. I can only speak for the one where I stayed which -- by my choice (dictated by my finances) was the LEAST expensive room available. I'm not one to pay for beer and complain if it's not champagne. My disappointments were largely due to MY OWN UNREALISTIC expectations. This trip was a last minute decision the evening before and I had been browsing hotels much of the night and was still not entirely awake when I came across their website. -- I saw words like "spirit of the west" "ranch" and "Chisolm Trail" and rooms with either balconies or patios. My foggy brain put this all together and I envisioned either a rural - or at least edge of town - location in an area where there would actually be something to look at from your patio or balcony. Where you could feel some sense of being in the west. Those were MY NOTIONS --- and I MY MISTAKES. The facilty is right down town - next door to a Hobby Lobby and across the street from an IHOP (which did come in handy). As for the view from my "patio" see the attached photo. AGAIN -- I AM NOT RAGGING on the facility. The staff are GREAT -- and I am sure there are some great things there that I did not have time or money to enjoy. I'm just saying -- IF you are looking for the kind of place I envisioned -- a rustic - "western" experience -- there are better choices nearby. To their credit -- their website even mentions one that offers horseback riding.
