The fire alarm battery started dying and the fire alarm started beeping LOUDLY in the early hours of the morning. I didn’t want to get up to try to fix it (it was too high for me to reach) because I didn’t want to wake up my kids who seemed to be able to sleep through it. Unfortunately they had fitful sleep from it as well. I, however, had to drive 8 hours to our next destination and had to ingest a ton of caffeine to stay awake and alert after not sleeping. Told the front desk staff and she didn’t care- just thanked me for letting them know the fire alarm needed a new battery… Gee, glad I could help. The situation could easily have been avoided with regular maintenance if the alarms. Really annoyed to have paid what we did for the room for us all to have slept so poorly. The people on the room next door to us were also watching tv and it came right through the walls. Luckily they had turned it off by 11pm or it could have been a rough night due to that as well. Breakfast was also lacking with an unpopular oatmeal flavoring and little else. Overall, the room was fine. You can tell it is an old lodge that they’ve done a few renovations to to being it up to date a bit. I didn’t try out the hot tub as it always seemed to be in use but the property was clean enough and parking wasn’t bad. I don’t know that we’d stay here again.

Very friendly staff and walkable to all restaurants and ski gondola - top priority. Felt upscale but room a bit tight. Great bathroom. Nice locations- living room, 2 outdoor fire pits to relax. Only weakness - small, overcrowded hot tub for ski location and jets were small.

It was a wonderful stay! Tito is great, I’m so greaetufl to him for smooth check in, and also small talk and help throughout the stay! I’ve stayed in a couple of properties around SLT and this one is my most favorite so far. I definitely will rebook. I’m so glad I found my home away from home base in SLT!
