Read it your way

Falcon Crest Lodge offers big condo-style rooms equipped with full kitchens, private balconies with BBQs, and access to outdoor hot tubs. Visitors consistently highlight the quiet atmosphere, super comfy beds, and courteous front desk staff. The primary drawback is the location relative to downtown, as reaching central shops and dining on foot is a bit of a hike. 612
