Beds were soft and comfortable. Our room was in the bottom floor and the Mountain View was of people smoking and some trees, which was disappointing. Room smelled musty on the lower levels. Restaurant isn’t open Monday and Tuesday which meant we had to leave for every meal. I did enjoy the pool, and the fire pit and snores. It was a slow week so staff sometimes hard to locate.

The restaurants were a little bit more expensive for what you got and the taste of the food however, at the end of a long day, the bartenders did a good job of keeping positive vibes and a good atmosphere

Mediocre toilet

The room was very clean. However, the low-flow toilet really wasn’t getting the job done. The toilet paper wouldn’t flush down no matter what I did.

We liked the room. It was perfect for a weekend getaway. Our check-in experience was awful. The information provided by Expedia was different than what was provided at check-in and the staff struggled to explain it without a condescending tone. In fact, the same staff person ignored me on the second evening, but attempted to recover. Our vehicle was damanged in the parking lot and the staff didn't have any recommendations on how to handle it though she seemed genuine about her desire to assist. Overall the property has limited activities and is in okay condition. The area is stunning and we had an wonderful time exploring, hiking, and the activities offered by the neighboring resort were awesome with pleasant, professional, staff.

The resort was great, the room and building needed a little maintenance. The building temperature was set to 90 degrees to keep the indoor pool area warm. The only way to cool down the room was the oldest and loudest window air conditioner on the planet. It was not able to keep up and our room was so hot! Asked the front desk if there was a way to turn down the building heat. No luck! Was cool outside, temped to drag the mattress out o to the balcony.

No elevators. Too many steps. Parking lot by the check in was in terrible shape. Fall risks. Not senior friendly. The indoor pool sauna area was so hot and steamy, hard to breathe. Our 30, 40 year olds felt the same. Our room was nice and clean. Bathroom vanity tiny
