It’s a decent option for the area - the hotel is starting to show its age (I was here for a wedding 13 years ago and it was definitely newer and nicer back then). It was clean and the beds were comfy.

The kitchen set up was great, the room was clean. I tried to watch the hockey game but there was no television services subscribe to do so, it was kind of disappointing.

The suite exceeded our expectations and had everything and more! Comfortable and perfect for a relaxing stay. The mountain view was magnificent!! The staff was amazing and service was so quick. I can’t recommend this place enough for a getaway in the mountains away from the crowds.

The room itself was incredible! Beautiful view and nice little balcony to sit on and enjoy. But the check in was super confusing as it was in a completely different building. So after unloading luggage, walking around to the the correct building only to be told our room is in the building we originally were at. Had to pay the resort fee, only to find out nothing is open. No gondola, no restaurants, or anything as a matter of fact. Definitely not a place to stay when it’s not snowy out. So pretty bothered by having to pay the fee when we got nothing out of it.

Hands down, an amazing place to stay! I had an incredible time thanks to the super friendly staff and spotless rooms. The mountain view is absolutely breathtaking, and parking was a breeze. Currently, there’s not much snow, but they offer an indoor garage for parking—available for an extra fee. Can't wait to visit again! ♡

Great place to stay at reasonable price. Staff could have bee trained to be more courteous with the guests. It was little disappointing when I had to report issues with oven in my room and the staff was too rude to be dealt with! Otherwise things were really great!

This was obviously more of a winter resort as the rooms we stayed in didn’t have AC. My bad for not looking at the map as there is no food or shopping within 12 km.

Visted in September. Lovely area to hike in, with a bear refuge just up the mountain side (hikable if you want, or accessible via a reasonably priced chairlift). Down the mountain are a couple of nice lakes. The room was spotless and well maintained, with a large bathroom and small but functional kitchenette. Good views from the balcony. The gym, sauna and steam room looked clean and well maintained but beyond an initial inspection, we didnt actually get around to using them as 'the mountains were calling'!
