We just returned from a quick weekend getaway to Sunrise to enjoy some great early season skiing.
Some background, I am a frequent business traveler and I am on the road abtu 50 percent of the year--approximately 150 nites a year. Normal brandds include HI Express, Hampton, Hilton Garden Inn and Residence Inn. This year, I have stayed about 60 nites in HI express hotels nationwide.
We checked in about 5 pm after a long day skiing that included a 4 hour drive from Phoenix. Check in was quick and efificient. This is a small hotel with a cozy lobby featuring 24 hr coffee/tea/cocoa and a fireplace. We requested a rollaway bed at check in and it was delivered within 10 minutes of getting into the room.
The room was simple but comfortable. Beds and pillows were firm and linen was new and clean. All rooms feature a microwave and a mini fridge in the bathroom. Some nice features included upgraded soaps and conditioners in the bathrooms, water in the room at check in, and hangin hooks on the wall for large garments like ski jackets and pants.
In the morning, we had the free breakfast which included eggs, sausage, muffins, cereal, fruit, coffee/teas and HI Express's famous cinnamon rolls.
Check out was simple. There was a slight error on the rollaway bed charge and it was quickly corrected.
All in all, this is a great hotel in a small town. Check it out!
