Enjoyed the location which was walkable to anything up and down the main street blvd. Ease with check-in, parking, room was quiet, beds comfortable, A/C available and working, and bathroom was clean. The issues we had were that the hot tub was not working the day we arrived, and on the following day both the hot tub and pool were closed due to inspections and work being done. We were so disappointed. This was one of three primary amentities we were interested in when booking this property.

Hotel was walking distance to everything. Very convenient location. The room we stayed in smelled like the carpet had gotten wet and never dried. Remotes didn’t work for the TV. We tried to check in early and were told they don’t do that? Breakfasts in the morning were basic but good. We paid a lot of money to stay because of the gold tournament but I would never stay there again.

Property was very close to activities and dining. I would say it was excellent except for the thin walls. You can hear anything and everything that is going on outside your door and your neighbor.

As usual, when I book through Expedia in hopes of a better rate the hotel takes that as an excuse to provide substandard service, a less than welcoming attitude, and an opportunity to rent me the room nobody else wants or would otherwise settle to rent.

Disappointing that we did not know of solar panel construction ahead of time. Hot tub not working and presumably that’s why skimmer for pool did not seem to be running leaving a continuous cover of dust and leaves from the trees. Probably would have booked somewhere else or at least expected a discounted rate

It was a great place to stay very close to the gondola two person. Hot tub was just what we needed after a long day on the slopes.
