My stay at the hotel was largely enjoyable. The location is absolutely stunning, situated in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, which provides breathtaking views and a unique experience. The room was incredibly spacious and comfortable, making it perfect for a family getaway. However, I did encounter some noise from neighboring rooms, which was a bit disruptive at night. While the service was great overall, the self-parking costs felt a bit steep, but the valet service was prompt and efficient.
