"I brought my wife up here for her birthday weekend. The room we were staying in had a beautiful view of the environment and the mountains. The wait staff was very nice as we did in-room dining for our breakfast and we ate at the Cotton Rye restaurant for dinner. And the food was pretty good. My wife used the massage service and it was very lovely. We both did the Floating Bath service, and that was a pleasant experience. Things can get a little pricey around here. But overall, it was a very good stay. And we would love to come back."
