The resort and village are awesome. The condos are a bit outdated. Old carpeting and furniture.

Horrible place to stay!

Cons: Tell visitors ahead of time if they are booking in the old or new hotel and clean the rooms!
We have always heard great things about Northstar but we'll never stay here again. We booked a room here and assumed we'd be staying at Northstar Village as depicted by the pictures. However, we were booked into the old hotel in Northstar which is a far cry from the photos shown here. In addition, the room was filthy! There was food left in the fridge, 2 dirty glasses, 2 other broken glasses and multiple 3 inch nails on the deck. The room was extremely hot that we had to leave the sliding door open all night which kept us up listening to people passing late into the night. I'm not sure how you guarantee if you're getting the new vs the old hotel but my advice would be to call and get it guaranteed ahead of time. As for us, there's no way we'd ever stay there again.

This is a condo, not a hotel room

Cons: Our room had a tube tv with built in VHS. Time to upgrade. Also, no air conditioning. Made for hot evenings until about 2:00 am with all windows open
Location: I'm sure it's amazing during ski season, but it's a little dead and creepy in shoulder season.
This rental was a studio condo in a building with a lot of stairs. Also, it's part of a huge resort (with lots of condo buildings). We went to the Northstar Lodge to check in and got a little bit of sass about not understanding where to check in. It's not clear that what we were getting was going to be a condo in a building with no elevator that was part of a big compound.
