"Very clean and well appointed! The beds are comfy and the shower had plenty of hot water and good water pressure. We didn’t use the hot tubs/sauna or cold plunge but they looked nice! Close to Bellaire and Mammoth (which is my fav as I don’t drink beer or cider so Short’s really isn’t the appeal to me for drinks). There’s other places too. All within walking distance. They asked that we put trash outside, pile towels on floor (which I do anyway) but I shouldn’t have to worry about trash at all for what we paid. It also looks a tad junky to have trash bags outside a door on check out day! I would re-think that policy. I loaded the dishwasher with the very few things we used (just coffee mugs and the coffee pot carafe and brew basket/filter) but I couldn’t start it and honestly, I didn’t want to keep messing with it! I’m We would stay here again for sure!"
