We really enjoyed our time at Tunnel Mountain it was perfect for us. As nature lovers we loved the location on the edge of town with lots of trails to explore and wildlife to see (lots of Mule Deer!) A complimentary 'Roam' bus pass was included and with the bus stop right out side the resort it was super easy and convient to get around. We didn't have a car but arranging tours and airport shuttles wasn't a problem as many of them pick up and drop off at the resort, or from the hotel across the road. Our accomodation was warm, cosy and inviting (even though it was -26 some mornings!) and we loved having the open fire that was a big highlight of our stay as well as having a view of the snowy mountain landscape from our window. Our kitchen had almost everything we needed (apart from a baking tray for the oven?) and really liked the local products - Rocky Mountain Soap Co was a nice little luxury. Thank you to the staff who were so attentive and welcoming, looking after us during the duration of our stay. When we had a question or an issue they were very quick to resolve it and allowing us to check in early and look after our luggage on our final day, until the airport shuttle picked us up later that evening. Really hope to stay again!

It’s not really a hotel. It’s a time share. The resort fee was more than advertised on Expedia which I found annoying. The check in girl was very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again only if nothing else was available.

Absolutely terrible, the condo was half cold and like a sauna in the bedroom. Cleanliness was mediocre. We’ve stayed here numerous times but I’d stay away and choose somewhere else for the cost.

The wi-fi was very slow. We couldn’t use it for our phone or ipads. It needs to be improved a lot.

This was our second stay at Tunnel Mountain resort. The rooms are a good size and they are cleaned daily which is great. Beds are comfortable good size. Only complaint is that there was not enough bedding... We were cold and when we asked for extra blankets we were told they had none. Other than that the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The bus stop is outside so very convenient for the public bus to town (ticket free with accommodation). Excellent value for money. Kitchen facilities are minimal (fridge, hob and microwave) but enough for us to cook meals every day to keep costs down. A great place to stay overall. Would recommend for families or groups as rooms reasonable size.

It has a townhouse feel, but very cozy. We loved the cleanliness and the design of our accommodation. One of the best things we appreciated is the hotel/Airbnb concept since most hotels don't even offer pans, utensils etc. Only one comment was the free for all parking which works for the most part, but where our room was located, there was a bunch of cars parked due to some guests having multiple vehicles instead of one per stall. I had to park a little farther, but overall, parking was decent.
