We usually love staying here and have had many great experiences, which made this visit especially disappointing. Things started off shaky when I called to confirm check-in time—the associate who answered (I believe his name was Chip) sounded irritated and inconvenienced, despite my being polite. When we arrived at the room, we found dog food and fur in several areas. We don’t have a pet, so we notified the front desk immediately to ensure we wouldn’t be charged. The staff member did offer to send housekeeping, which was appreciated. This hotel is usually quiet, but that wasn’t the case this night. Our neighbors returned from downstairs extremely intoxicated and spent much of the night slamming doors, playing music, and talking loudly. It made for a rough night of sleep. Cleanliness was also lacking, particularly in the bathroom—the walls didn’t appear properly cleaned. On top of that, the added $25 fee felt frustrating, especially when it’s justified by a “free” morning fitness class for only one person. I’d rather opt out of the fee and pay for amenities I actually want. I understand long-term goals for the property, but nickel-and-diming guests isn’t the answer. Lastly, the outdoor yard and fire pit weren’t cleared of snow, making them unusable (which are part of the amenities) We’ve had too many good stays here to rule it out entirely, and we’re willing to give it another try—hoping this experience was the exception, not the norm.

I love the grand scale of the hotel, the sharp Air Force influenced architecture and cool AF interior theme. The staff are so professional and very competent from the front desk to restaurant staff and spa. My salt therapy massage was top notch and the facility pristine, lovely and peaceful. Lounging in the after treatment area with a Prosecco in hand and a magnificent view of the mountains was worth the price of admission! A must experience. Even the pool was open on this cool November evening. On my last night I enjoyed delicious chicken wings and a cocktail at the stellar bar and then hung out by the central fire chatting with guests. The room’s are super well put together and comfortable. Fresh bright linens and quiet. I will stay again for sure.

Absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Polaris! Beginning with it being right off the highway, allowed easy and fast access to and from our destinations. The staff at the front desk were amazing and the room with the mountains view was breathtaking. The room and hotel are impeccably clean and offer a lot of amenities. We had brunch at Pamela’s, drinks and wings at the lobby “Thunderbird” bar and great sushi dinner at the Aviator Bar on the ninth floor. I would highly recommend and definitely return the Polaris
