The hotel is about 3 miles up the mountain, which may not seem much, but could be a long windy drive for the dark, cold, icy days in the winter; but an easy drive during the non-snowy months. This is a condo/timeshare hotel so the rooms are very large and roomy, the kitchens have everything you need, and the amenities are great! The downside was that they gave us the parking passes, but there was no parking available! Also, they are strict about the check out time at 10 am. At 10:15 am, someone was already knocking on our door! We were just lugging snowboarding gear to the car, and maybe got a little distracted by the football playoffs so were slow in the loading, but lady...CHILL.
