- Limited Indoor Family Dining Options: Due to Utah law, the lobby bar prohibits those under 18 from dining, and the main restaurant's fine dining atmosphere might not be ideal for all families with young children, particularly in winter when outdoor options are limited.
- Bathroom Design: One guest noted that in an Earth Suite, while the WC had a door, the shower area did not, which might be a consideration for some.
