El Dorado Ski Lift

I usually don’t write many reviews, but I felt I should share my experience at the Valorian Hotel because I think it could be helpful for future guests. The hotel itself is beautiful, but unfortunately, my stay was very disappointing because of how crowded and noisy it was. There were events happening essentially throughout the day and into the night, with a large number of people coming in from outside the hotel. Because of this, many of the hotel amenities were extremely crowded and, in my experience, not realistically usable for guests staying at the hotel. When I say it was busy, I mean 24/7. The lobby was constantly crowded, especially late at night, with many intoxicated people. The elevators were also very busy, and there was an unpleasant smell in both the lobby and elevators during my stay. Another major issue is parking. The hotel does not offer regular self-parking, so guests are essentially pushed toward valet parking, which is very expensive. What was especially frustrating was that I was not clearly informed about other, potentially less expensive parking options nearby. I would strongly recommend asking specifically about all parking options before checking in. Also, check your valet receipts carefully at checkout and make sure you are not being overcharged. They will refund you if you catch it! Overall, if you are looking for a relaxing hotel where you can enjoy the amenities, spend time by the pool, or have a comfortable stay do not pick this one!
