We only had a short one-night stay at the hotel but enjoyed it. The room was a bit on the smaller side but had lots of amenities (fridge, microwave, coffee maker, dishes, etc). And the area was beautiful, wish we had more time to explore. The room numbers can be a bit confusing as ours was something like B402 and there was also a different room 402 (without the B). They did mention this when we checked in though.

It was the quintessential mountain lodge experience. We were told that the dining area was not open for the season as yet so that was no surprise. A beautiful place!!

The hotel room was fine and I would have given it 4 stars except for two important factors. First, there was an extra Resort Fee that was charged when we checked in.There was nothing obvious in the Hotels.com information to indicate that there would be an extra fee. This is not acceptable. When the website shows a total price that includes all taxes and fees, we don't expect to be charged another $13 when we check in. Secondly, there were NO restaurants open for dinner in or near the hotel. As a result, we had to drive 20km back down the mountain to find a restaurant and then after dinner, drive another 20km back up the mountain. If there are NO Restaurants near the hotel, this needs to be highlighted in the description. If we knew the above two items, we WOULD NOT have stayed at this hotel.

Lovely property and gorgeous view of the mountains! I’m not sure what the other comments are about but our room looked clean, modern, everything worked and was perfect! We came very late yet front desk was welcoming. ONLY DOWNSIDE get food in the town of golden before driving up or you will not have Much in the ways of options for food at the lodge itself! Otherwise it was great!

We stayed here at the end of May so most facilities were closed and not yet open for summer season but that kept it nice and quiet. Girls at reception could not have been nicer and more helpful. Great fun. Rooms were adequate but a titch tired. Golden had good restaurants to choose from and was reasonably close with a nice drive . Would definitely recommend.
