It was above average lodge. The view was incredible! No vending machines and other than the substandard Aplenglow Restaurant (spelling?), then was no snacks available after 3 p.m. when the little coffee kiosk closed. It would have been nice to have at least vending machines for drinks and snacks.

They try to get you to purchase the $22 round trip or $16 one way transportation between hotel and train station, however they have a free shuttle that goes to the visitor center and it's just a walk across the road to the train station. $32 for breakfast buffet we skipped! They did text us to see if we needed anything and she was able to answer my questions before we arrived which was quite nice and appreciated

The room was not much to talk about. Clean and a decent shower. The staff and the shuttles were outstanding. I would have liked if the shuttles ran ever 30 minutes rather than every hour.

Views, service, and exceptional cleanliness!
What a stunning property! Everything appeared to have been recently renovated- it could not have been more clean. The best view in the entire area, perched above the other properties but with a convenient shuttle to get you where you needed to be. The concierge texted us to check in and provide extra guidance, which was an extra-special touch. The breakfast was awesome, too!

There was so water in the morning when we woke up. I understand how things happen however, the front desk employee gave us attitude when we talked with him. There was no laundry facility for us to use after they reinstated the water. The portapotties were not brought out til 10:00 a.m. The rest of the staff were excellent

Disappointing
Expensive for what you get. Standard hotel room, small in room coffee maker, microwave and refrigerator. Coffee bar, bar & restaurant were expensive. No complimentary coffee available in lobby. Free shuttle available to downtown and to the park visitor center. Facility had issues with water one night so we had to use porta potty. Received small discount for this trouble. Thought we would receive an elevated “lodge” type experience but in no way did it meet that expectation.
