"Wow. Really nice resort and hotel. Super fancy and not over priced....in the summer. I bet the winter would be more expensive. Room was amazing - two huge rooms connected by a hallway/bathroom. Bed was very comfortable. Shower was great. You have to valet park here - but it is complimentary - no choice on self parking - you are right next to the Heavenly Chair Lift. Saw 4 bears on the ride over (it was dusk and they were in the neighborhood about 1/4 mile away). Very nice resort type hotel."
