Nice hotel overall. No pool but the hot tub was big and also has a sauna and a steam room. Some maintenance on loose shower handles could be done, one in the mens bathroom for the spa area and in our room 229. A design flaw that i found annoying was the placement of the wall mounted shampoo and conditioner, its mounted in the shower right beside you at elbow height so you keep hitting it in the already claustrophobic shower space. The sink would also fill up while brushing your teeth. A little routine maintenance on each room would make you guys top notch. Besides that, I would stay here again. Good price point. The Carlitos restaurant attached had really good pizza too.

Nice place, but no breakfast or lunch inside.

The hotel is very nice and the rooms are well appointed. We had a corner room upstairs, so no noise from neighboring rooms - that was nice. The only thing I didn't like was that they had no place inside for breakfast. There was a small pizza place off the lobby, but you had to walk a couple doors down the street to another hotel if you wanted something to eat in the morning or at lunch. Not fun when it is cold and snowing outside! The pizza place was good, but didn't open until 5:00.

Nice and clean hotel. Easy check in and out process - especially it being 11am check out :) Staff at reception were informative and friendly. Walkable distance to town, takes about 12 minutes to get to the main street. Would recommend to friends.

The pictures of the property are misleading at best. There are multiple pictures that show the rooms have a microwave. Upon arrival we find out you have to bring your item to the front counter and they will use the microwave in the staff room. Rooms are much smaller than expected and dated, unlike the pictures in their ads. Beds are hard as a rock and the pillows are small. The pool area gives off a bathhouse feeling. This hotel is in a ski resort area and expects you to store your gear in the open in the parking garage and not in your room, which is an extra charge. Coffee maker in the room was extremely loud and didn't work. It seems as if they spent a bunch of money to redo the bathrooms and stopped there.

Nice hotel with clean quiet rooms and within walking distance of shopping and dining. Comfortable beds, good daily cleaning service, very helpful and friendly staff. Paid parking is $20CAD, but we found parking on the streets for most of our stay. Jacuzzi is okay and saunas (steam and dry) work well.
