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.

Room was great, with a great view. Thee only downfall or complaints that have are: 1) Unable to open any windows to enjoy the ocean breeze!! 2) Their was no balcony to enjoy. 3) The thermostat is horrible, there was no option to turn a fan on for any air flow or use for white noise. The AC only came on intermittently set at 67 degrees…. This place has an amazing bar great food and so many amazing amenities. The staff at the front desk were extremely nice!! As well as the fellas at the valet. This was my 1st time staying at a Kimpton. I look forward to staying at more in the future…
