Convenient & scenic location at half the rate of nearby Sydney hotels was how we found this place but now we're telling friends to stay here because WOW. Room was huge, bright, and well-stocked. Lounge food was great. Coffee & breakfast outbuilding was excellent with a very friendly, helpful staffer. Highly recommend!

Nice spacious room sits at the foot of the ski hill and golf course. Unfortunately the dining room closed early and the closest restaurant was 15 minutes away. Didn’t play the course but it look well maintained

This is a 10! We stayed in a chalet for three nights. Everything was perfect. The weather was terrible so we were glad to have a nice place to hang out. So glad we chose to stay here. Definitely the top pick of our hotel choices as we are on a cross Canada trip and have stayed many different hotels. Obviously we would stay here again and highly recommend.

Very quiet, had a great sleep. Easy parking at this super safe well priced hotel. Staff is always helpful and provide useful information on the area. Can be very busy when the golf season gets rolling or very quiet when not in full busy mode on the course. Large TV worked well for NHL playoffs and Blue Jays games. Stay here often. Always receive very good value & get a relaxing, restful night. Great option if you are driving in beautiful CB.

Brand new mattresses, so comfy. Suite was very big. Large, clean washroom. Lots of parking. Staff were friendly and helpful. It was opening day for the hotel but the restaurant wasn’t open yet. Our only complaint was that the floors squeaked so we could hear the people above quite a bit.
