The hotel has a stunning location with beautiful mountain views, and it's a great spot for skiing. While the staff was generally friendly, service issues and inconsistent communication made our experience less enjoyable. The dining options were limited in quality and availability, which was disappointing given the overall luxury expectations. However, the amenities offered, including a heated outdoor pool, added some value to our stay.

During my recent stay, I experienced a mix of highs and lows. The hotel boasts a stunning location in the mountains and has beautiful grounds, offering a variety of leisure activities. However, my experience with service was far from ideal, particularly with ski equipment retrieval. Additionally, the dining experience left much to be desired, especially considering the prices. Overall, while the property has great potential, there are significant areas for improvement.

I recently stayed at this hotel for a ski vacation, and while I loved the ski-in/ski-out convenience and the exceptional outdoor views, my experience was marred by the overall service. It felt inconsistent and distracted, which was disappointing given the Ritz-Carlton reputation. The dining options could also be improved, as the limited offerings didn't quite meet my expectations for a luxury hotel.
