The hotel room was spacious and very nice. The coffee table was damaged and needed to be replaced. The pool and hot tub were amazing. The entire hotel is well kept up and beautiful. It just needed a new coffee table.

COCKTAIL service slow, sparse and destracted/detached. Limits and time restrictions and frequency of beverages. Restaurant staff SLOW AND IMPERSONABLE. Super slow customers, empty tables. Love the friday drawings. Beautiful, well kept. Privacy. House cleaning staff start early and loud conversations and laughter in the halls in early morning hours. Additional fees added to my quoted booking.com charge quote. Food prices were great and food was good. Kind of dead. Hope business picks up. Sorry- pros and cons listed together above.

The property is beautiful and they have great amenities but the staff at the Players Club and the restaurant were just plain rude. The grill staff hostess wouldn’t even come by to seat us. It was only 8 pm and they posted open until 10! They just would look then turn away. We left because no one would seat us. Then the girls at the cafe barely responded to questions. Food was premade so the sandwich was soggy and the bun tough yet wet. The guy working the players club was just sarcastic and rude. Check in girl was wonderful and the casino floor wait staff were also nice.

We had s great night stay. The rooms were clean and spacious. Loved the big bathroom with separate shower and tub. Beds and pillows were very comfortable slept so well. We loved the affordable arcade games and free bowling for guests was a awesome benefit as we had our 9 year old with us.

Everything was good except after paying Hotels.com online for my 2 night stay the Sky Ute Casino Resort charged my credit card for the room at check in. When I told them I already paid Hotels.com they took the charge off my card. Then about one hour after check out the resort hotel charged my card a second time for the room. After calling about the over charge they took the charge off again.

At checkout, they charge a lot of extra money that they don’t tell you about. They lie about what the fees are going to be. They keep the deposit for no reason and add resort fees that are a lot more than listed. They never have a manager available to talk to and the Internet is horrible in the room

The room was very nice. However the TV was old and the picture was very blurry and we were unable to watch the hockey game in our room we had to watch it in the lounge. The bed was very uncomfortable and the heater was very loud. The casino was small with limited gambling available. A few tables were on the floor but none were open. We would not stay here in the future.

I was overcharged for one. They charged an extra $25 a day that they don’t tell you until you get there. Also, they charge a $20 day deposit and they kept my deposit for no reason at all. In total, I was charged at least $90 extra to stay there for two nights. This place is overpriced and extremely expensive. The Internet did not work in my room the entire time I was there.

2. the key/card system worked sometimes, never new if our door / elevator key would work, often did not 3. the food was mediocre at best, for high end meals ($75/person) the evening meals left much to be desired 4. the employees acknowledged there was no GM and most were extremely lackluster about their jobs. I do NOT blame them, this is clearly a lack of mgmt issue. 5. very, very, very convoluted system to buy a drink (and this place has a casino) 6. the whole place seemed very discombobulated. 7. the bedding was very Good 8. the hot tub lacked power bubblers, and seemed dirty 9. the 'resort fee' was as usual just another way to increase the price We will not be back, I suppose if you NEED to be in the general area, there's not much to choose from; however Durango is only 17 miles away.

Our room was amazing! It was very large with a tub and separate shower. There is a phone in the restroom next to the toilet in case of emergency. Separate sink/bar area with nice highball glasses. The rooms are quiet. I like the idea of when you get into the elevator you have to use your room key to activate the elevator.

-the water in the shower was either scalding or cold. -the AC in the room turned off during the night so we would wake up sweaty. - two of the pillows on the bed became a flat nothing when the pillow case unfolded. - the TV did not provide a listing of programs, just a list of channels. Therefore had to spend lots of time watching commercials to find out what program was on each channel. -the evening dining option to bar hamburgers is an overpriced restaurant offering "fresh" mussels and other seafood. "Fresh"???!! This is the high plains in Colorado. The cafe with only acceptable food closes after breakfast. The Hotel is priced right there with the large hotel chains but with very little consideration for patrons.

The property was great, beautiful, but the mattress and pillows were extremely uncomfortable. I did not get a good nights rest due to the mattress being so uncomfortable. It felt hard and lumpy. The pillows were extremely hard as well.

The manager of that night was straight clear saying he thought my accent was the reason his other employee had a racist atitude towards me. It was a nightmare the only night my family and I stayed there, he stopped threat me only when my brother showed recording the situation. He was trying to kick me out of the hotel and being aggressive in words because I was in the front desk by myself. Again, they are racist and I do not recommend this hotel. It was the worst experience I ever had in my life!

Clean place to stay. The rooms are very nice with big bathrooms. Staff were friendly and helpful. They accept dogs which is a plus for those with fur babies. Had a low tire light come on in my car and security got me arranged with Blake from maintenance to get my tire aired back up. I would recommend this place to stay. Nice walking trail for walking your dogs around the hotel too.

This was a last minute booking for our final day of a week long vacation. To say this hotel was a blessing would be an understatement! It was clean, comfortable, and QUIET. The only issue was the pool because a family didn't read the 'no running no diving' rules when it was clearly a spa pool not a play pool. Besides that we had a wonderful time. I lost $20 at the casino but that's normal for me lol! I will say that the hotel entrance could have better signage since I kept walking into the casino from the outside, but I suppose that's normal as well. All in all, I highly recommend this hotel.

This hotel is in a remote area. We booked this getaway because it had a few options for dining. Once we arrived, the hotel did not have many people and it only had one choice of dining which wasn’t safe for someone with food allergies. It was disappointing. The casino hardly had any guests. The hotel is clean and check-in was great but didn’t really find the experience met our needs of a vacation.

Room was not as clean as when I stayed there before. Beds were made but furniture and flooring needed cleaning. Mold in the shower and stained shower floor basin looked like it needed thorough cleaning. I did not use the shower again after I used the shower once. Most of the restaurants were limited open. Mostly closed during day hours if not closed for good from posted signage. The one restaurant that I ate at was terrible. Staff were not experienced in service industry for restaurants. Poor quality of food. High dollar hamburgers. Waited 50 minutes for food plate and 45 minutes to pay for food. All in all not a resort experience.

This hotel was a little gem. It was clean, the breakfast was good, and the staff were polite and friendly. It is a little bit of a drive to Durango and seems far out there but traffic wasn't bad going and coming. The flute music was also so relaxing. We did use the pool and jacuzzi. It was nice they are open late and indoors. The pool was a bit cold but we warmed up in the jacuzzi The person checking us in gave us a room near the elevator that takes you to the pool knowing we planned to swim. That was kind and considerate of her. We enjoyed our stay. Also note there aren't any food options if you arrive later in the evening.

When i arrived to check in, there was no one working the front desk. There was a sign that said "Be back in 30min" but 30min went by and still no one could check me in. i waited almost an hour just to get my room and by then the pool already closed and there were no available food options either. There are no vending machines or any type of food items available after 10pm so bring your own food if you're staying here. In the morning the housekeeping staff just walked right into my room with no warning or reason to show up in my room. It was not check out time and they had no reason to use some key and walk into my room. I felt completely violated and uneasy about that incident. very disappointed to say the least.

It is a lovely hotel and very clean. Best of all, our room had zero smell of cleaning products! Many places I’ve stayed I had to open windows and leave, but not so here. As to condition, a few things were worn- the folding luggage table was missing a strap and the clock had an issue with making noise. Otherwise this place is great. Beautiful bathroom.

Location was perfect to visit family over the holidays. All team members we encountered were fabulous and so helpful! Bed was very comfortable and the room had everything we needed. The only downsides - room and furnishings are showing wear and tear. Also, somehow lots of flies were getting into the room. Not sure how, but there were a lot in the bedroom.
