We stayed during the Balloon Festival. It's about a 20-30 minute walk to the festival area and very easy. Or, you can pay for the hotel shuttle to take and pick you up. We paid and Marco, the driver, was awesome. Shuttle runs about every 10-15 minutes during the morning/evening events, but will come and pick you up anytime with just a call. During the festival they had nightly happy hour with free drinks and snacks which was a welcome treat. Breakfast is good and it's kept very well stocked. During the festival, they opened the breakfast area by 4:15 am so festival goers could eat before the first shuttles left. Hotel itself is clean and the staff is awesome. Rooms were nice and clean. It's a bit noisy from guests and the nearby road, but I've had worse. Some earplugs took care of most of the issue. For the price, proximity, amenities and service, the hotel can't be beat.

Pretty decent stay overall. Couple glitches, the key cards would go out when kept near anything with a battery or electricity. Two key-cards had to be reset multiple times in four days. Two different occasions the counter-help was nowhere to be found.

Needs upgrades

The elevators were broken the nights we stayed it never got fixed. The cleanliness of the room was not great and we called but the front desk never answered. We asked for extra towels and were only given one set. The breakfast was very minimal and not much quantity.

Our room was filled with a smell of weed. You could see the smoke still in the room. There was an odor elimination machine plugged up and running on the desk when we arrived. There was also guys hanging out with the staff at the front entrance that made my crew feel very uncomfortable.
