Staying at the Cliff Lodge during Oktoberfest is definitely a splurge, but my family always looks forward to it. Great outdoor pool with hot tubs, lovely outdoor patio at SeventyOne, simply beautiful mountains, and reasonable valet parking as guests of the hotel. The beds looked beautiful, but none of us slept well with the giant fluffy cube pillows that didn’t flatten out at all; however, we look forward to staying at this hotel again next year. Worth it. If I were to have two recommendations for hotel management, they would be 1) offer flatter pillows either on the beds or in the closet, and 2) Offer specials for hotel guests who want to enjoy festivities at Oktoberfest, at the restaurants, etc. I always appreciate it when hotels give that little extra even if it is a voucher for a few bucks off of the tram or kids activities in the area.
