Fast and easy checkin. All staff very friendly and helpful. Clean and spacious suite. Awful furnitture and linens. We had a suite with a fireplace, but had no desire to sit on the couch or chairs near it. Bed was relatively soft with big puffy, unyielding pilllows that made for ackward neck angles.

It’s a lovely spot and very convenient but it’s very loud. The doors don’t close without slamming them and it made for a very restless sleep.

Solid choice. The Keg is part of the building for breakfast and dinner opportunity. Breakfast is not included in your overnight price so add roughly $30 a person for this. Great to park car for free underneath the hotel. Can also store ski equipment in locker.

They called and asked me if i wanted and "upgrade" to my room at no extra charge, but it was not an upgrade at all. It was a smaller room with one less bed in the corner of the hotel. This "upgrade" was very cramped and odly shaped
