Spyglass Inn

8/10 Good
"Dennis at front desk was proficient. Room 137 is perhaps the worst room in the place. Avoid it! There is a view of a wall. The place wasn't even half full & we, new to the area, were put in a dungeon. The wall at the door was crumbling. The beds were very soft & each had 4 nice pillows. One bed was splitting apart (we were curious what brand of bed they had h Beautyrest). The split system cooled well. The fridge was tiny & didn't have a freezer. No Microwave. The heavy curtain for the wall-facing window was difficult to close (dirty or bent track?) Shower ok but nothing special. 3 lamps in room gave just enough light. Bedding good. Carpet old. Desk scratched & old. Tv good but just 2 HBO channels. Wifi - free option: slow. Could pay $15 for better. Front desk had coffee , tea & apples."
