“This property stands out with its ski-in/ski-out access at Northstar California and a luxury Lake Club, though the summer atmosphere may feel somewhat remote. The extensive spa and family programs are significant assets. In my opinion, the hotel excels during ski season, but should refine its approach to maintaining a luxury experience during the off-season.”
