"The room was very comfortable for 4 adults. I liked that the shower/toilet are was separate from the sink area. The breakfast was very good and well organized for seating. Lots of different items for different diets. The only thing I thought was not good was the price for a drink at the bar. A vodka tonic was $16! I don’t drink much so I just wanted a drink at the hotel by the fire and then head up to bed."

"Toothpaste in the sink was kinda gross with dried up streams of something running down the front of the sink. Appreciate the lighted makeup mirror. Bedding was nice, room was quiet, valet was very engaging and fast. I expected a little better for the price, but our stay was nice, location felt safe. The hills were great exercise. We loved the moon checkout time."
