Guest reviews for Douglas Fir Resort and Chalets
Douglas Fir Needs Maintenance
Pros:
We like the location.
Cons:
Requires a lot of maintenance for the entire facility.
Location:
Good bus service to downtown and Sulphur Mountain.
We checked in to find that the kitchen light didn't work. A call for repairs and 2 hours later a maintenance man showed up.He was unable to fix the light and after trying to change the bulbs, which didn't work he gave up. This was fixed the following day (PM). The wifi didn't work in he room. I had to go to the office to connect for the first 2 days. I finally worked on the 3rd day after getting them to disconnect the router and restart it. The fireplace lacked kindling wood and the protective screen kept dislodging when trying to open and close it. We have spent time at the Douglas Fir on many occasions, over the past 10 years and this is the first time we have not enjoyed our stay. To make matters worse was the high rates.

Had to have key to room reset 3x. No reminding children of pool rules. Beds not comfortable. Someone smoking below our room so we couldn't have the sliding door open for fresh air. But view from room of mountains amazing.

Expensive
Pros:
Staff is friendly and accomodating. Clean room. Close to town if that matters. I always come on Fathers Day weekend for a car event.
Cons:
Price is to much
Location:
Close to the campground. If you are a skier it is close to Mt Norquay. Lots of wildlife.
$155 a night US funds is a bit much, especially when I stay on the beach at Puerto Vallarta in a 1 bedroom condo and have the best restaurants in PV within walking distance. Also a Canadian friend from Saskatoon stayed at the Douglas Fir the same time as me and paid the same amount only in Canadian funds. With the dollar favoring the US at about $1 in US funds is equal to $1.32 in Canadian funds. Which means the Canadian friend is paying $117 per night in US funds after the conversion. So who is getting the extra $38? Travelocity or Douglas Fir? Or are they favoring the countryman over the other folks.
I have stayed at this hotel several times and I will stay again. My gripe is the price.

Good location, could use some updates
Rooms are large and kitchen is useful, however the furniture is outdated and has a smell to it. Good for large families.

Fathers Day Weekend
Pros:
Front desk was very helpful. Maid service was excellent. Safe in the room.
Cons:
TV channels don't match up with the paper they give you. TV is only for late night as there is so much to do and see.
Location:
Great Views, Close to Town.
For once the weather was good, not the best but at least it didn't rain every day. Douglas Fir is a great place to stay. Great views, close to town, has a grocery store near by. We will stay there again.

Douglas Fir regardless of weather
We loved the Douglas Fir hotel. We loved having a fireplace in our room. The weather turned bad and it was great having all the options for play in the hotel to keep the kids & adults happy. So many conveniences with the laundry and store adjacent to the hotel. The gym was too warm for comfortably running distances longer than 3 miles. Clean, convenient, comfortable, cozy, FUN & all around nice.

Douglas Fir Resort & Chalets

Great place to stay, especially with kids!
Stayed in a studio room. Had a queen size bed, pull out couch, coffee table, lounge chair, fireplace, large flat screen TV, DVD player, and an electronic box for hooking up cameras and other devices to the TV. Had a full kitchen with pots, pans, and utensils. The pots stuck a little, but what can you expect. A pretty standard bathroom. Also had a balcony wth chairs and a fireplace stocked with wood. Underground secure free parking. The room was clean and nice, nothing spectacular. Free wireless internet. Two outstanding indoor water slides for the kids (and adults). Also a large hot tub area so the adults can relax when the kids enjoy the water slides. A nice workout room. Overall, an excellent stay and the kids loved it!
