Stay here if you're passing thro or skiing

My 3rd time here, so that should tell you something!
I just took my teenage son & his friend there for a snowboarding trip at Granite Peak. They've renovated the place & it's even better now than it was. I was originally quoted $99/night but also got a quote of $90 from another hotel, so I told them this & they honored the lower rate. I'd expect to pay more like $60 for a place like this, but overall it's good value. They now have Wi-fi in every room, it's really close to Granite Peak (they say 5 minutes, but I clocked it at 3). The adjoining restaurant (Emma Crumbies) is a Denny's clone & a bit pricey, but OK. There's a Subway, McDs & other eating places close-by.
They have a good little gym & pool with hot tub, which I used while the boys were having fun. They enjoyed the hot tub when they got back from a day on the slopes. The bar has pool tables, foosball, multiple TVs & a nice atmosphere.
The boys want to go to Granite Peak again next month, so guess where we'll be staying? You bet.
