The hotel staff were very kind and really friendly. The in-house restaurant was fabulous! Their staff was great to talk to. We loved the view of the sum coming up over the mountain!

Not so big on the beds. They were probably fine, but both my partner and I have chronic back pain, so it was difficult sleeping.

very handy to have the restaurant in this facility, as the location of the hotel is about 9km away from the city center. Pleasant dining room, clean Food could be improved No water offered

dinner was disapointing, I had the steak salad. The description on the menu read better then what was presented. the steak was not hot, and had a cold grease after taste, with next to no goat cheese. The carrot cake was partially frozen also

We love the country location where we can walk all around the property with our dog on a series of paths around a beautiful pond with views of the sleeping giant.

The staff didn’t tell us that some of the cable tv stations were not working. I was looking forward to seeing the NFL game but that station was not working properly.

Big pool and hot tub Breakfast was amazing Nice to be able to sign in to my own YouTube account Nice balcony/view Beautiful scenery to walk around

Pillows weren't the most comfortable Hot tub was nice but could maybe use a face-lift.

Great location, staff were great. Facilities were excellent.

Had some trouble getting door to lock on room 103. Had to pull very hard for latch to catch. Some dust bunnies on the ceiling from air conditioner fan.

There were full service breakfasts included every day in a bright and cheery dining room. The view from our room was lovely, and the hotel was very quiet. Beds were exceptionally comfortable. Great restaurant right across the highway.

Great location on the outskirts of town with a lovely view from the room. There is a restaurant in the facility and a full breakfast was included with the stay. All staff we met had a positive attitude and were very friendly. I'd highly recommend this hotel.

Other than the comment below, everything else was exceptional!

The room did not have a carpet, which was fine, but it also did not have a rubber or carpet mat for boots inside the doorwall-entrance. We tracked in sand when bringing in luggage, which then we tracked all over the room.

Excellent location, beautiful view of the mountains 3 minutes from the ski area. The hotel is beautiful , offers a lot in the way of facilities, ie. gym, swimming pool , restaurant ( even though closed due to COVID we could see these were well maintained and inviting for guests under normal conditions.

1) No microwave in the room , very convenient . 2) we didn’t like that we had to pay normal prices for facilities that weren’t available to us . Our pricing should have been discounted or adjusted in someway

The complimentary breakfast was great - selections from the regular menu. The front desk staff were very friendly. The location was perfect for where we wanted to go.

Bathrooms were on the small side - only one person at a time.
