This top-of-the-line hotel left me thoroughly impressed. The immaculate room was spotless, clean, and incredibly comfortable. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay during Valentine’s weekend.

Top Destination
4/5 - Good
Verified traveler
Restaurants do not display times of service so we missed lunch at the main cafeteria. Had to settle for food at the coffee bar at 2:30. Very disappointing.
5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
Get there early to get tickets/rentals since line can be long. Maybe get rentals end of day before the day you go to ski, if tour trip allows. Not sure if you can do tickets this way as well...call and ask. Bring you own food if you want since there is an area to eat what you brought. Food cost at ski facility will be pricey depending on your wallet.
