Lousy service, below average food = over priced. Attended a wedding on 1/19/24 that was amazing and the credit goes to the wedding planner not the hotel. The service was not up to par, food average at best which then made the food over priced. Example- sat at the bar to watch a football game Saturday 1/20 and one of the bartenders (Eric) rudely comes over and removes the menu's in front of us saying he needs them for when it gets busy. No mind you the people with us spent $10's of thousands of dollars on their wedding at the property and we had just started ordering food. We are not the only people who experienced it, however, the wedding planner (a non-Ritz employee) did an amazing job with the wedding set up and the one good service was housekeeping.

5/5
Place was stellar. So clean. Wife/I drove across the US from Florida and had relaxing stay at this location. Johnny, Gavin, Jason, Merrick, Jose, Hunter...so awesome. Johnny went so above and beyond for my wife/I. Giving direction, where to go, what to do, etc. He was so in the moment. We were not at this location during ski season, but from what we could tell this place would be perfect to stay at also. PS - food was amazing in the restaurant. Amazing.
