Staff is friendly. Hotel dates back to early 1900s so no elevator but there are workers helping with bags. WiFi is not easily accessible but there is a Helpline to call for assistance. Read about the historical significance before you arrive to get an appreciation for this building.

Doors on the lobby fireplace were not working properly and no fires in it for the three days we were there. Ice in the parking lot was unsafe for walking two of the three days that we were there. Everything else was excellent.

5 out of 5
This is a beautiful property! It puts to shame other properties that are 1/4 its age! Windows that actually open, well appointed rooms, broadband Wifi that actually works, and even the non canyon views were amazing! The staff were helpful and courteous. Even in this time of social distancing and the like, the Hotel common areas are decorated for fall, fireplaces lit, just like it would be in peak travel season. You can tell that the staff cares about the impression that the property gives, a rarity in these trying times. Thank you for a great stay!
