The indoor pool and outdoor hot tub were nice and just a short walk from our room. Breakfast was simple and good. Assortment of bread, bagels, cereal, yogurt, hard boiled eggs and a waffle maker with a nice bar of toppings. Location was also great and close to Stanley hotel Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again if I go back out that way."
