7/10 Good! (4,363 reviews)

Did not eat breakfast except in the Bean & Bread and the staff in there was too night! Rest of the hotel staff I can’t say that about. We used to stay there when it was a hard rock and I know they’re doing tons of construction but the newer rooms were not that nice.

9/10 Wonderful! (408 reviews)

Just here for one night. Room was huge at 1,100 sf. Very comfortable. Snow was bad and it was a Monday so the property was quiet, people were friendly, shops were great. Ice rink was active. Our room was clean and in good shape considering properties where there is a lot of outdoor activities including skiing, tend to get worn a little more than a regular hotel. You could see that this was a ski resort that was well maintained.
