We had an amazing time at this hotel. We definitely will be coming back. I’d give the staff 5 stars because the front desk staff was on point and so friendly. Daniel the bartender in the hotel bar is super awesome. The valet team were great. The only reason I gave the staff 4 stars was because the two bartenders in the ski lodge bar were beyond rude. Completely ignored me several times. It was so noticeable that a man behind me saw it and he and his friends decided to leave and take their money to another bar and so did I. Total shame cause the concept is cool. Other than that we had an amazing time and there were so many amenities. We were super impressed!!

Beautiful property with fantastic customer service. Loved the retro appointments throughout the Hotel. Even a record player in our room! Breakfast burro was very delish and setting on the patio in teh sun was a treat. Pop up bar was cool too. People really got dressed in ski wear just to enjoy the moment more. Beds were nice and bathrooms very clean and modern. Coming back!
