I loved the room! It was so cute and cozy and was so much better than a regular hotel room. I didn't like that the hot tub was down all day one of the days and it was our coldest day so we really wanted to go in the hot tub. It did finally open at 7:30pm, but we really wanted to go in after a long day of hiking before our dinner plans. Parking was also hard to find some nights when we came back from dinner. We always found a spot but usually had to walk pretty far back to our place.

I stay here at least ince a year and normally love it. This year, maintenance on the hot tub was preformed. Taking it out of commission after a 4500 person running event. Very poor timing.

There is no elevators and there is hardly any parking. We arrived late after a tour and had to park far and had to leave our heavy bags in car because of hard Access to the room. Also there was no macrowave in the room. And seems like they had just done some halfway plumbing job. There was a cut piece of drywall that was not properly put back and it felt as if we had some critter's company in the room. The bathroom sink was still clogged.
