Beautiful Rockies vibe, eat elsewhere.
Pros:

This is just a gorgeous hotel, at least the lobby and entry hall. It's majestic. The rooms are huge too, big bathrooms and king beds, super spacious. The staff is also excellent, helps with everything you might need.

Cons:

There was too much venting on the room, but maintenance came immediately and fixed it. The thing that should be more carefully looked at is the food. It was just not good. The "nachos" at the central bar in the entrance hall were oily flaps of fried four, just about inedible. The Caesar salad at Copper Table was just lettuce drenched in ranch dressing. For the prices, you expect good food.

The perfect girls trip for a cold Colorado weekend:)
Pros:

We absolutely loved every aspect of this hotel- it had everything we needed. Check in was a delight with Ivana, and everyone was more than happy to help us at any time. The staffing was wonderful. We especially had a great time with Israel at Music Trivia and Jerzey in Bingo:)

Cons:

nothing!

So. Many. Kids.
Cons:

We booked a king bedroom and they didn’t have a king bedroom upon check-in. They gave us a room with two queen beds.

Clean, nice, quiet, and expensive
Pros:

Very nice looking property, lots of space to walk around. The gym was very big and clean.

Cons:

Everything was way overpriced, from the coffee bars to the z bars. Shouldn’t be up charging things just because you’re in the middle of nowhere.

Great special holiday trip for the family.
Pros:

Wonderful resort with fun holiday activities for the family. The pool and water park are excellent. 4 stars because the parking situation is a mess. Parking is $33 a night and less hourly otherwise, if coming just for events. You must have your room key to get in and out of self parking and not have to pay additional fee. There is valet which is additional charge of course. Other than the parking situation this is a great resort. You must remember it is a luxury resort with prices and situations like a resorts (think Disney). Food and restaurants are more expensive than outside the resort and it can be crowded. Recommend reservations for dinner at most restaurants. The sports bar has the most extensive menu but they don’t take reservations that we could see. The Copper Table was more fine dining but was delicious and generous portions.
If you have mobility issues in your party events in the convention center are a LONG walk (think airport terminal length). Bring your own wheelchair or they have a limited number to lend to guests.

Pros:

The water park was amazing! And the ICE experience was really awesome!

Cons:

I paid for our family to go through the ICE, and in the email it stated we could take a stroller through the experience. When we got there we were told we had to leave the stroller behind and that the hotel was not responsible if it got stolen. I think they should have send out an email clearly stating the changes.
