Hotel was ok but not for the price charged. Realize the area is remote in the mountains but value was not necessarily there for almost $500 per night stay! Way over priced for what you got!

The front desk texted me and said my room would be ready by 3:00. When I arrived at 3:05, after a 6 hour drive, I was told to come back in 20-30 minutes and my room should be ready. The handle fell off in the shower.

Inconvenient for desk work!

There was no chair to sit down and do any work. Also, shower bring so open created a very wet did slippery floor. Very convenient location.
