Beautiful view, unhelpful staff,not worth the pric
Amazing view but most stuff entirely unhelpful. Not worth the price. Upon check in, although already paid for, made me go get my physical drivers license although electronic version was provided. They told me the physical ID would provide information that the electronic version did not provide. Two identical copies. This was after waiting forever to check in. Then failed to tell me that there was a short little pathway to my room. Instead, we drove all the way around and had to go down countless flights of stairs to get to our room. It was then an issue to get assistance with the luggage. I had to call four times just to order breakfast. Mind you, I was attempting to order as a surprise for my husband’s birthday. Overall, very frustrating with the staff, but again, beautiful view. Definitely would not say thought that the view is worth the hassle and price.

Old rooms but beautiful view.
If you have any problems with walking and stairs make sure you tell staff when making reservations. Some of the rooms are not convenient to parking. We had to unload and go down 3 flights of stairs since the hotel is built into a hill. Then go park uphill and walk back down. Could be a problem for some people. Hotel rooms are old and they say fireplace but it was just a fake fireplace and looks really cheap. Restaurant was not open for dinner since we were mid week. For a hotel that looks like it would be a 4 star hotel it is more like a 3 star. The views are amazing. But if you are looking for a hotel to celebrate an Anniversary or special occassion just be aware that this hotel gives off a vibe of being old.

Not worth the price
Although check-in is at 4:00, our room wasn't ready until 4:15. We arrived at 3:00, so we had a drink at the bar after a long day's drive. Once checked in, we had to schlepp our luggage up multiple sets of outside steps to get to our room. Inside the room, the bathroom is small, with a small shower, but it had two sinks pretty close together. The cabinet was rather beat up and looked like it was the original cabinetry. There was only one lamp in the large living area, and a HUGE spa taking up about a quarter of the space in the room. On one day of our stay, I went to find ice, which someone from the front desk area had to go get for me. She advised they could bring it to me in the future. The next day upon our return to the hotel, we stopped by the front desk and asked them to please deliver a bucket of ice to our room. Twenty-five minutes later, I went in search of the ice. The woman who had gotten our ice the day before was surprised to learn that we had put in a request face-to-face with someone at the front desk. She hadn't gotten any message, and one of the men who had been standing there when we talked to his partner (who was no longer there) just stood there silently, not volunteering that we had in fact stopped by. The only thing good about this experience was the view from our room. However, we will NEVER stay here at this overpriced hotel again!

Our room wasn’t ready by check-in time, and when it was we had to stand in a long line again just to get our room keys. Also, for such an expensive hotel I’d expect a cup of coffee to be complimentary, not over $6

The property had spectacular views! The dining experience was average and wasn't fully open on the days we booked our stay (wish we had known that before booking). They only open Wednesday through Sunday so all guests on Monday and Tuesday really don't get the same dinner menu which is actually why we booked our stay here. The room was not what we were expecting, but comfortable nonetheless. The pool and firepit by our room were also closed so our room's view made up for all the minor disappointments. I would stay here again, but would call before booking to make sure I am getting all the amenities we are paying for. Grateful the staff was friendly and inviting!
