Our 2nd time staying here this season. We love it, perfect location to town and ski. Spotless rooms, microwave and fridge a bonus when kids are traveling. Rooms were so warm we turned off heat. Breakfast included. Check in and out very quick and friendly, we will absolutely stay again.

Couldn’t even get into my room the key card didn’t work and nobody was at the front desk to help. They just leave your key in an envelope with your name on it which isn’t very secure.

The room was rough and smelled like weed. The toilet overflowed onto the floor. The staff was prompt in trying to fix it. When the couldn’t they gave us another room. This room the floor was destroyed and lifted, the plumbing did work though. And this room didn’t smell like weed. The outside lights were so bright it kept us up, along with the noise from the workers at the local ski mountain that were up all night. Not impressed at $345 for the night.
