Room was clean, we had a king suite and there was enough room for the two of us to comfortably get around and sit to enjoy a glass of wine - even when our apres-ski days created a huge mess! Incredible location, decent rates, on-site parking, nice lobby restaurant - I would definitely return. The only semi-negative comment would be that to any hotel suite designers out there - MORE STORAGE AND HANGING SPACE! Even just hooks on a wall would have been helpful. They had nice "furniture pieces" in the room, but with ski clothing and going out clothes and lounge clothes there really wasn't a place to put everything so it just ended up on the floor. Not the end of the world though - I would definitely return to this hotel.

Rooms were small, but quite clean, well appointed. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. One of the hot tubs was down for maintenance which made access a challenge. Definitely a good value.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Our room was ridiculously small, especially considering it had a king-size bed. Basically, the king bed and 2 night stands took up almost the entire width of the room (with maybe an extra 2 feet to spare). It wasn't much better lengthwise. The room had one small window that overlooked the roof with pipes etc. You had a partial mountain view if you sat right in front of the window. The whole room felt very cramped and uncomfortable which was especially distressing because one person wasn't skiing and spent a lot of time in the room. Additionally, the carpets were stained, and nothing felt very clean. The whole hotel had sort of a shabby feel to it. Not impressed! I will say that the hotel is in a good location if you want to be in the center of town.
