Elevator broken upon arrival, but apparently it has been for months. Staff unhelpful for any request - their answer is always “no” or an excuse. Rooms are dark and not cozy, not comfortable, not convenient. The location of the hotel is the only positive. Don’t get fooled by misleading photos on here. This place is not nice.

Room was nice and great view. The elevators were out the whole stay and we were on the 4th floor opposite the stairs. With ski gear and luggage it made for a pretty inconvenient access. Everything else was excellent.

Hot tub was closed. Heaps of extra fees not included in the expedia booking. Door to the room was wide open on check in, with damage to the jam as if it had been forced open. This used to be the go-to place but now it is time to find somewhere else.

It’s a decent option for the area - the hotel is starting to show its age (I was here for a wedding 13 years ago and it was definitely newer and nicer back then). It was clean and the beds were comfy.

Go off season as long as you expect to want nothing but quiet and no crowds. No elevator service as this is when maintenance is done on them. Vending machine service is extremely limited. No dining options. No stores. Eat in Golden, BC or bring your food with you. Very small rooms.
