I had a rather disappointing stay. The hotel promised more than it delivered, especially with the service, which was quite lacking. My room was spacious and clean, but the overall atmosphere felt uninviting. I encountered several issues that left a bad taste, especially for the price I paid. The amenities seemed inadequate for what was advertised, and customer service left a lot to be desired.

We had a last-minute stay at this hotel, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience. The staff was incredibly accommodating, especially when they arranged valet service for our early morning departure. The rooms were clean and we appreciated being given a choice of mountain or valley views. On the downside, there were some issues with maintenance that could have been handled better, and the casino amenities were not operational during our visit.

The hotel is beautiful and definitely a relaxing getaway, with a stunning pool area and spacious rooms. However, I was disappointed with the casino experience, as I found the slot machines to be very tight, which affected my overall enjoyment. Additionally, the smell of smoke in the casino was quite strong, and the internet service could use improvement.

The property has stunning views and beautiful grounds, with a wonderful pool area framed by mountains. However, the internet connectivity was frustrating, and the casino environment was unpleasant due to smoke. The room cleanliness and service left a bit to be desired, especially given the high price tag during the Balloon Festival.
