I had an overall pleasant stay, with the staff being exceptionally helpful and friendly. The location was a bit away from downtown, which provided a quieter retreat, but it did make it inconvenient for quick access to the town. While the amenities offered were nice, the room I stayed in was in need of updates, especially considering the price tag. The restaurant served delicious food, enhancing the dining experience.

I had a great getaway at Buffalo Mountain Lodge, where I enjoyed my stay immensely, especially the outdoor hot tub and the relaxing soaking tub in the room after long hiking days. The restaurant offered some high-quality food and drinks, making the dining experience enjoyable. However, there was a bit of a hassle with room service during my stay, which took longer than expected. The location is quiet, just outside of town, but the uphill walk back can be a challenge after a long day out.

We had our wedding at Buffalo Mountain Lodge, and it was a lovely experience. The lodge had clean, beautiful rooms, and the dining at The Prow was outstanding. The staff was genuinely caring and helpful, which made the entire process smooth. However, there were some hiccups with our dinner reservations, and I ended up getting sick from a meal, which dampened my overall stay. Still, I appreciated the attention to detail in some gestures made for our special day.

This hotel is nestled in a beautiful setting in the Rocky Mountains, offering a cozy atmosphere with excellent accommodations. The rooms are spacious, and the staff is very attentive, making the overall experience enjoyable. However, the dining options could be more varied, and some noise from the surroundings can be distracting. Overall, it’s a delightful place to stay if you appreciate nature and comfort.
