The property appears decent from outside. however, we did last min. check in and the room was beyond dirty! the beds are old as can be falling apart with an old sheet sustaining the bed frame. the bed frame was coming apart! the floor was dirty dirty dirty!!! Heater wasn’t working and wall heater had a burnt remote with tape to hold it together. We contact the guy and he said he’ll get housekeeper to come clear, of course that didn’t happen. I should have read previous reviews!! PLEASE DO NOT GO THERE! it’s sooooo dirty till its scary! Why kids and I could not sleep due to the bed feeling and smelling dirty. The sheets were clean but extremely wrinkled!!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND and please share this with others
Disappointing Stay Despite Easy Check-In
I recently stayed at Bear Creek Resort and while the self check-in process was smooth and convenient, the rest of the experience was far from pleasant. The room was old and run-down, with worn-out furniture and a generally unkempt appearance.
The worst part was discovering a mouse in the room. I’ve stayed at several hotels in the mountains before and have never encountered rodents inside the rooms. This was not only unsettling but also raised concerns about the overall cleanliness and maintenance of the hotel.
While the location was great and the check-in process was hassle-free, the poor condition of the room and the presence of a mouse made this a stay I wouldn’t repeat. I would not recommend this hotel unless major improvements are made.
Heavy snow fall and no one to clear the entrance. That’s the only disadvantage about not having staff there. Small car almost got stuck in the snow. Staff was very responsive over text though.
Rented a nice size room last minute so my son and I could have a quick ski trip. We arrived late around 10pm but we had access codes texted earlier so we let ourselves into the lobby and into our room.
Room was warm and comfortable. It had a refer and micro and coffee maker (that gave me problems but I tried using my own beans not supplied puck) while there are end tables and coffee tables there was no dresser or table high enough to use as a counter. So I had to make our sandwiches for our ski day on a night stand. But price was great and it was clean and comfy for a night. I would stay again especially in the bigger cabins.
Noisy unit in main building. Wall heater kept us up all night banging! Never heard a wall heater that loud. Needs to be mounted properly. Had to take out our own trash?
It was strange to me that there was no one ever at the check in desk and all communication was through text only, they never answered my 2 phone calls. The condition of the room was good overall, however the heater makes very loud banging noises during the night which kept waking us up. The towels were not thoroughly cleaned and had snot or food residue on it. The shower curtain was stained. Additionally, we always strip the beds as we check out to help the cleaning staff, and were shocked and grossed out by the number of stains on the mattress cover. In my opinion, anything with stains should be replaced for good hygiene and health standards. I regret not checking under the sheets prior to sleeping. Conveniently located. Great Mexican food across the street. Would give it a second chance to stay there again.
