The creative numbering comes right from the survey report. I just print em as I see em.

It is interesting that Stein Eriksen Lodge is not on the expensive list, but it ranks as Utah's best (only 5-Star) lodging property in many surveys. I'm glad there is a wide variety of Park City lodging options, including many that are quite affordable.
