As a wee child I felt this hotel was magical, like Cinderella's magic winter castle. Took me 60…read moreyears to finally stay here. It was on my bucket list.... With the passing of my Dad (he and Mom also had always wanted to stay here but could never afford it), I said charge it!! and booked an overnight stay. So glad I did. It was every bit as magical as I thought and the snowing during our stay made it even more so. The history, attention to detail, preservation, detail Oriented caring staff all led to an amazing stay I will never forget.

This is a somewhat difficult place to rate. I was here for a couple full days in May with near…read morestellar weather so views are astoundingly great with mountains and sunsets featuring. The outside when weather is this nice is really good, ample porch seating and exterior reception areas. The food imo is ok. The first meal was a "simple" BLT with really soft and kind of fatty bacon. The soda was also flat. Summer staff return and gearing for the season might lend to this. The exterior temps were hot one day and the lobbies and hallways were just plain hot, too. My room AC ran nonstop and failed to break 74 in the room. The suite was nice if not outdated a bit with carpeted floors that likely met the style of an old hotel but felt old.

The staff is seasonal, with that some younger folks learning the system and very friendly while others, like bellhops seeming disinterested. It's wrapped as looking luxury but with practical gaps in execution.
