Chris is the front office manager of the lodge. Her customer service is excellent. I recommended they mention that not only do they have a nice hot tub; they also offered a sauna. And during the winter they provide a complementary breakfast. The place is very safe, quiet and clean. The room was very spacious. Very good heating system and hot water. Very central location.

Check in did not go smoothly. No one at reception and we had not been sent the auto check in instructions. It took over an hour to get hold of someone. The same thing happened to others checking in.

A disappointing stay

A strange place. Initially when we arrived there was no one present so we couldn’t get in. I managed to find a lady in the kitchen and she called someone who came and booked us in. It turned out that we were the only two people staying there so after 5:30pm it was just us. The whole place wasn’t particularly clean but our room was fine and the bed was uncomfortable. This is a ski resort and we were out of season, however it was advertised as having a hot tip and a sauna, neither of which were available. It should also have come with breakfast included but there was no one at the property in the morning, so that wasn’t an option either. I’m sure it’s great in the winter but we were disappointed

Probably our fault

We were the only people in this hotel. I thought it had closed when we showed up. It was locked. Yes it was 12:30 and check in at 2:00 but locked. There was a bell to ring which we did twice and no response. The door had a phone number on it to call if need be. Well I was now just about end of phone battery so went next door at 2:30 as still no response with bell. Next door was kind to let me use their phone to call the "call if needed" and it was answered and we came back and he opened the door. My fault because this is a ski town and it is summer so few people around.
