Snow King Resort Hotel and Grand View Lodge

A beautiful resort,at the base of the ski Lodge, door pool, a nice put out. Walking distance from old town, the rodeo, and observatory (it's worth taking the ski life up to). PROTIP 1: They have free snow cones in the pool area during happy hour. PROTIP 2: Buy tickets for the rodeo in advance, they sell out every night before they open. If nothing else purchase them for the next one. It runs 8PM - 10PM

Kyle was so helpful and polite in checking us in, offering advice in our travels and including the children in our checkin process. My only criticism of the rooms was that the bathrooms were a little dated. Otherwise, top location!

Sadly, what a disappointing experience. The pictures this hotel posts are gorgeous, and I'm sure that once upon a time this hotel was amazing, but it sure isn't anymore. The whole experience was underwhelming, especially for the very very high price we paid during the low season (may). The hotel gives off the vibe of, this could be so nice, if management just put in a little bit of effort. Sadly they don't. Staff looks bored and unprofessional. Our room was dirty (see pictures). The restaurant is really hyped up by the hotel, but the food is mediocre. View from the restaurant could be good if they bothered to clean the windows. Honestly, we chose this hotel even though it was more expensive, but I recommend everyone to take a cheaper hotel, because you'll get the same level of service you get here.

The location is perfect, but that's about it. The front desk staff was abrasive when we arrived. They had a problem with their system, which is okay, it happens, but the guy rudely said he couldn't help us check in. We were considering options to pass the time and tried to ask a question about the gondola ride to which again we were rudely addressed with "I can't tell you anything about that, its completely separate." Okay, that's fine, but the attitude is unnecessary. The whole experience was like we were intruders, not guests. The room itself was also disappointing. The furniture was old and distressed, equivalent to a two star motel. The small mini fridge had a piece missing making a large part of it non functional. For over $400 per night, we thought it would have better accommodations.

We went here for activities for the day. Apparently it was there first day open of the season when we went- which was great for us because it wasn’t super busy! We road the cowboy coaster, twice! And we did the gondola ride. Beautiful views and very friendly staff. Definitely worth the money and highly recommend trying !
