Elevator broken upon arrival, but apparently it has been for months. Staff unhelpful for any request - their answer is always “no” or an excuse. Rooms are dark and not cozy, not comfortable, not convenient. The location of the hotel is the only positive. Don’t get fooled by misleading photos on here. This place is not nice.

Room was nice and great view. The elevators were out the whole stay and we were on the 4th floor opposite the stairs. With ski gear and luggage it made for a pretty inconvenient access. Everything else was excellent.

Hot tub was closed. Heaps of extra fees not included in the expedia booking. Door to the room was wide open on check in, with damage to the jam as if it had been forced open. This used to be the go-to place but now it is time to find somewhere else.

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! ♡
