First visit. A real gem of a hotel. I couldn't be happier about my visit. Very pleasing lobby/Lounge/Breakfast area. Very warm and welcoming. Lodge like decore is very well done. Check in was very fast and friendy. We arived early and were allowed to check in, which was very nice. Lovely rooms with excellent hot/cold controls. Which is important to me. The beds were excellent and the bathroom was superb. The sauna is the best I've seen anywhere. I also loved the outdoor hot tub which was very large. Again, one of the best I've seen. Breakfast was superb. It's a continental with nice extras. Literally steps from Granite Peak Ski Park. Great visit.

The hotel pictures did not match the reality. The staff were disorganized, the place reeked of smoke, and it was extremely noisy. The price was outrageously high, yet the hotel was dirty. The staff even tried to force us to stay the full duration and refused an early checkout. Only after calling the police and having them intervene were we able to leave. It was a terrible experience, and we will never return to this hotel.

I liked that there was a fireplace, patio, and a kitchen. As well, it was very well stocked with everything you might need. The breakfast was pretty nice and the customer service was great. The only downside was that the people next to us were talking ALL NIGHT and loudly…or maybe the walls were thin. We had to run the fan and a white noise app on my phone so we could sleep. Otherwise, an overall great experience.
