We attended a wedding on this property and we had higher expectations for the hotel considering the high price. The area is beautiful and the staff is very friendly and attentive. The price is exorbitant considering the condition of the hotel and the tv's have limited channels and were NOT High Definition, just like the old days. The food in the dining room was not worth the price tag.
Amazing place to stay with views from every angle. The rooms was beautiful and just redone. The restaurant dinner was delicious!! We will definitely come back. Simply 5+++Stars in our opinion.
Superb location. The dining room was not good and very expensive. The dining room and bar closed at 8 pm which is ridiculous. The room had no headboards and only one nightstand between the beds. No reading lights either. For a place that charges a premium amount for everything they didn’t come through. That said it’s a beautiful area and the hiking trails are great.
