9.6/10 Exceptional! (4,371 reviews)
Was in town for a work trip. Loved the spa, the location was extremely walkable, and took advantage of the standalone tub. Also loved the private balcony! Would love to stay again next time I’m in town.

9/10 Wonderful! (81 reviews)
I liked the ski in/out and its proximity to the gondola.
I did not like the ski valet as it caused line ups/delays to get your skis in the morning or an unnecessary visit prior to skiing to avoid the line. (This area should be turned into lockers if possible.)
I also did not like the hot tubs as there was not enough room (or tubs) and were always shoulder to shoulder post skiing.
I would also recommend providing a communal barbeque area for guests.
Overall, our experience was a very good one.

The UBC Museum of Anthroplogy is quite moving -- many totem poles and artefacts of Pacific First Peoples. The UBC also has rather nice botanical gardens with a canopy walk. Near UBC are beaches where one can go out hundreds of yards on the tidal flats at low tide, with stunning views of Vancouver and all the giant ships in the channel waiting to come in.
4/5 - Good
