I had a great experience at the Golden Arrow, with a fantastic location right on Mirror Lake and a lovely room that was clean and cozy. While the staff was generally friendly, the dining experience at their restaurant fell a bit short with slow service. Overall, I appreciated the amenities and the resort feel, but the heating in the room could use some updates.
