    Our fine dining staff was exceptional. The food was ok. I probably could have gotten a better meal at any one of the local restaurants. Would I eat dinner there again...probably never. On the other hand, Jeffrey was great. I was under the impression that breakfast was included as a continental breakfast...I was wrong. I am so very thankful that they disregarded the bill because the breakfast selection was terrible. Eggs, bacon, sausage, very bland potatoes, over cooked biscuits, and tasteless gravy. I tried eating a bowl of food but left almost all of it because it was terrible. The waitress brought me a bill for 15.00 (are you kidding me?) The local homeless shelter serves better breakfast than that. As for the hotel, it was amazing. The rooms were awesome. My bed was amazing. I was upgraded to the next level for whatever reason I was given, I don't remember but I would 100% stay again. My only complaint in room 411 was that trying to find the hot water while taking a shower was very difficult. The faucet is broken and had to search for the hot water. I never did find hot water but it warmed just enough to wash then I was out. The view was beautiful. I do recommend the 4th floor for the views. Again, the staff and the hotel were amazing. I will save my money next time and eat else where, highly recommended.

    Great place to eat a real nice dinner. The only problem might be finding the place. More signage needed as it is a bit difficult to find. Otherwise a great experience all!!!!!!!!!

    We look forward to returning to Geoffrey's section. He provides superb service along with on target suggestion. We dined on Thanksgving from the Dining Room menu. The French onion soup was excellent as was the delicious beet salad. The pasta dish was flavorful with a generous portion. The Colorado trout was as expected with additional flavors. Perfectly light to allow for desserts. Unfortunately we could not order regular desserts ( creme brulee and special cheesecake) yet were very happy with the cherry pie. We will be back for the seasonal menu change and to enjoy those longed for desserts. Valet parking was the added touch to make the evening effortless.

    This was a special dinner for my sister's birthday, a place we'd talked about going to for some time, and we were really looking forward to it! The wait staff were all very nice, informative, and attentive, but... We ordered an appetizer to share the Trumpet Mushrooms, and it was absolutely delicious, a departure from the "normal." We ordered our mains - my BIL ordered the scallops, my sister, the filet mignon, and I ordered the bison NY strip. We sat. And, sat. As others who'd come in after us had their dinners delivered... we still waited. Finally, the waiter said that the steaks had been overcooked and they were remaking them. My BIL's scallops came, and my sister and I still waited. Finally! Our steaks came... but there were 2 filets. I asked about my order of the bison and was told that they'd been out of it for a few day. Huh? Okay, I'll keep the filet. But, dang... a Dijon sauce??? Nope. I don't do anything with vinegar. So, I sent it back and opted for the trout, which was delicious. But, the mistakes and the time it took for our mains was really not good, especially for being first-timers. Will we be back. Yes, I do understand that things happen. But, as a higher end establishment, it should be addressed.

    Musty smell in lobby and restrooms. Slow service. Not knowledgeable about gluten free options. Friendly person did allow for a change of reservation time over the phone. Was excited to show off this establishment to three friends who’d never been there but left a little bit embarrassed.
