Loved the hotel, service, and room. No air conditioning but they had a box fan which helped. There is a lot of wind on the bluff which also helped cool the room. Being near hiking trails and the town was great. Much less crowded than other parks nearby. It was very relaxing.

Without a doubt I came for the location plus the view and it was spectacular. They also have on-site dining, which I enjoy. However, the room was hot and there was no air conditioning. Ordinarily there would be a lot of wind and an optional fan, but I had a night with no wind and it was dreadfully hot. The food pricing is high, but the quality is great. I wish they would operate year round and not be limited to the summer, but they do celebrate Christmas in July.

I spoke twice to the front desk when making my reservation and not once was I told that their elevator was not working and we were given a room on the 5th floor. I am 71 and my wife is 69. There is no air conditioning anywhere in the hotel. The lounge as so hot my wife felt sick, the dinning lounge in the morning was so hot that they had to open the windows with a 35 mph wind blowing through the place. The attic we were put in was so hot we had to open all the windows and it sounded and felt like we were in a wind tunnel. We paid $354 for one nights accomodation and then was charged $12 to self park our car.

We were very disappointed with the room. I had seen the hotel as a teenager 50 years ago and fell in love with it so when the chance came to go back I was very excited. However for what we paid I expected a little nicer room. The carpet didn’t feel good underfoot.

Rooms are very, very small. It is a double bed pushed against the wall. No air conditioning, but they give you a large fan that you can put in the window. This means the blind is up, and that would be OK except for the outside light above the window that shines brightly all night long. Even when the elevator works (which it wasn't), it only goes up to the 4th floor. The staircase to the 5th and 6th floors is very narrow and steep making it difficult to get your luggage up. Yes, they have bell boys for this, but we only had small carry-on luggage so thought we would be able to manage OK. We were wrong. No coffee makers in the room. Free coffee is available in the lobby (down 6 flights of stairs) 5:00 - 6:30 am but otherwise you are paying for it. Restaurant is good as is the lounge but they can't soft poach an egg and you need to ask for the english muffin to be toasted for your eggs benedict. There is no where outside on the property to sit and enjoy the spectacular view. Seating is available with a view inside, but is limited. And it's expensive.
