This chain hotel shines above some of the other accommodation options on the strip leading into town. There's a great pool area in the summer and a hot tub that's open year-round in the little central courtyard; rooms are clean, functional and cheaper than many other stops. A free shuttle up to the mountain is available. Breakfasts at the attached Rex's are off-the-charts good.
