Room and lobby are tidy and clean. They are remodeling so there are things that are not 100% at this time. The staff is quick to assist and please you. Sometimes something is missing. The board was there but no iron. Just ask. It is pretty nice and will be amazing soon. I hope it doesn't lose it's ski resort vibe. A lot of places are losing their personality.

Whoever was working on Froday, October, 10th at 11:30 was very rude, I book a room with two beds in one room for two nights and she said that I didn't have anything booked under my name and to call the number I was given; even thought I showed her all the receipts of me paying for the room. So after being declined multiple times of her sayings I didn't have any bookings I ask how much would I have to pay for the room that I originally asked for and she said $560 dollars which I believe is a bit expensive so I didn't pay. After before I walked out I called the number that I was told to call and when I did her phone or the hotel phone started ringing signally that I had all of my information correct and the lady there stared at me stupidly like she doesn't know whats going on. And as I was walking away another gust came running downstairs complaining about how the beds weren't clean and the room was very unsanitay and that its not a place of comfort. So for my overall experience it sucked because how in any circumstance did she not realized already had a room I pre-booked before arriving and then had the adacity to cancel my stay but yet still tried taking off my credit card.
