"Very nice staff and a beautiful view. The pool was super small and busy, basically unusable. No air conditioning which doesn’t matter during ski season but our stay was in summer and it was 90 degrees. Dated and old rooms, furniture, and carpet. It was okay but for the price it should be nicer."

Travelocity Verified Review

"It was a great experience. Loved the location, including the family and pet friendliness. A couple of things of note - none of the charging USBs worked in the room, but staff brought us a charging station. We had to ask for our pets bowls, for the room we paid $100 extra dollars for a night ($100 pet fee a night). Again, staff came and brought them to us. The charges were not clear. The website said one price and the hotel gave different direction on what was being charged and when. End of day, we will definitely go again. The whole family loved it."
