Great hotel! They went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. Not only did they help us with an early check-in, but they also have everything you need. From great dining options to a relaxing pool with beautiful mountain views. This hotel is a must.

I can't say enough good things about our experience at Hotel Polaris -- great communication emails and texts, friendly faces on staff all around the hotel, and then the rooms were as nice as the photos! We stayed there 5 nights and enjoyed the views, the restaurants, spa services and easy parking. And the best part was that every staff we encountered seemed happy to be there! We will be back to see our nephew at USAF and stay here again!
