The property is aging and shows it but the staff was exceptional. They've done what they can to keep up the property and it was certainly clean but just old.

I’ve driven by with my family hundreds of times and always wondered what it was like inside and got the opportunity to see during a short ski trip. The hotel is a 140 year old gem that has an extremely friendly staff. I’ll be back again for sure.
