Recognition: what the hotel lists, and why we print no scores
The awards on the resort's own page, the press its restaurant and hall received, and how to read reviews during a renovation.

Why there are no scores on this site
Review scores move every week and differ by platform; a number we copied today would be wrong by the time you read it, and we cannot see who wrote the reviews behind it. So we do not print star ratings or averages. Read the reviews yourself on the platforms above and on the hotel's Google Maps listing, and sort by most recent: during a renovation, last month's reviews tell you more than last year's.
What recent reviewers will probably mention
- The pool being closed; the hotel's own notice says so.
- Concert-night busyness in the lobby and restaurants.
- Views west towards the Rockies from some rooms.
- Little Chief, which is often the surprise of the stay.
Those are the topics the resort's own pages raise, not quotes from reviewers.
