    The place is quite upscale. The bed is extremely comfortable, the shower is superb, the views are incredible, but the best part are the staff. They are so nice, gave us good advice on hiking. They even suggested we borrow poles and crampons!...

    Great location and nice place but hotel is very over rated. Cost is not justified except by the fact that this is the only place available in the area.
