Caribou lodge & spa was clean & well taken care of. The staff were friendly & professional. The Keg restaraunt, however, was a huge disappointment. They didn't have the prime rib so I ordered filet mignon medium rare with bernaise sauce. The meat was medium well. The bernaise sauce was tasteless & watery. I expected more from a keg restaurant.

The agent checking us in was terrible. Had no patience for my mother who had a massive stroke and was taking her time upon check in. We even told him she was ‘slower’ from her stroke but there was no care. The first room we had was covered in hair. Including the beds and pillows. The pool was closed for ‘maintenance’ specifically from check in to check out, kind of odd when the guy checking us in said ‘it’s common here’ We did go down the road to the Fox hotel and used their pool. I wish we had of spent the $80 extra to stay there

First time taking the family to the mountains. It was amazing weather and views. Hotel is right on the strip which made it easy to find dinner and shopping. Hotel is a little outdated but had all the comforts we needed. Slight issue getting into the hot pool area but this didn’t affect our overall stay. Loved the Rocky Mountain Soap products!

Disliked: Amenities
The property has a good restaurant and hot pool. The spa was adequate, although the temperature inside treatment rooms was quite cold. It was not possible to effectively manage the temperature of our room. Wi-Fi service was completely inadequate. Internet service went on and off every few minutes, making it not possible to stay in this facility if reliable internet access is a requirement. We reported problems with Wi-Fi access 4 times during our stay. Nothing was done to correct the situation. The facility has cable TV, which is a very antiquated way to deliver that kind of entertainment. There were piles of dirty linens and trash in our hallway everyday while cleaning was conducted. Additionally, we stayed on the third floor and were subject to frequent smoke in the hallway from the fireplace on the lobby floor. Parking was available, but only for smaller vehicles. As such, we had to search for street parking around the facility. Bus transport to ski resorts was available at the doorstep which is quite convenient, and the hotel is within a 10 minute walk to downtown shops and restaurants.

Lots of information provided at reception for those going to ski/snowbaord! Nice hot pool, sauna and spa. My only downside with the hotel is that the rooms are very cold and the maintenance say they can’t adjust the temperature on the thermostat. They ended up giving us two small heaters (one in the room and one in the bathroom - separate breakers). It was a bit better but still not great.
