We were incredibly happy with the Caribou Lodge. Emily checked us in and upgraded us to a suite for our anniversary. Check in was quick and even gave us a voucher for happy hour while our room was being prepped. All of the staff were friendly, helpful and the food in the restaurant was top notch.

Originally had rooms on the first floor, the smell of chlorine was overwhelming and burned our eyes and noses. Staff was very accommodating and moved us to different rooms, for a fee. The rooms were clean and beds and pillows were very comfortable. The soap, shampoo and conditioner are very nice but extremely scented, would be nice to have an option for sensitive skin.

Room was clean. We had 2 double beds which was perfect for my daughter and I. Good parking underground and easy to drive to sunshine for skiing. The Keg is the attached restaurant. We ate there our first night as we got there late. Just wanted a light soup and had the lobster bisque. It was ok. We had dinner in town the other nights.

Room was super outdated. Wasn’t very clean, so much dust everywhere and worn out furniture. Remote controls were filthy I had to Lysol wipe them. They also reuse the bottles for lotion and soap just refilling them as needed which is pretty gross. We almost left in the middle of the night. Would never stay here again. Only good part was having the keg in the building.
