Nice interiors. Rooms are quite warm, would be concerned in the summer! Ongoing exterior upgrades look good, interiors are in great condition. Pool is fine but small, change rooms are a bit of a dungeon. Don't stay for the extra amenities, stay for quieter location and nearby to Tunnel Mountain. Transit pass is great.

Short stay at Tunnel Mountain.
It was good for sure. There was construction on our side of the resort. We were not told about this before our arrival. Noisey at times and had to watch for sheet metal pieces and glass on road and areas we walked our dog. Still a wonderful spot for a little get-away during the week.

The property is very clean and well taken care of. Currently under slight renovations, these renovations did not affect our stay. The property offers complimentary shuttle service and it was easy to use and navigate. This is especially useful for families with small childrens. Despite the cold the playground was well maintained and utilized by guests. We truly enjoyed our stay and the kindness and professionalism of the staff. We would stay here again.

We were not made aware of the construction that would be going on from sun up until sun down. No chance for sleeping in or napping at the hotel after a long day out. Inside the room the cutting board smelt like it was rotting and the room smelled strongly of wood smoke. Limited parking spots because of construction. The loud and obnoxious music the workers were playing was not family friendly. When we asked about a discount on the room we were told that because we booked through Expedia they couldn’t do anything. They told us we could get a discount on future stays but we are not inclined to return to stay there again. Very disappointed.

Our room was really great - high ceiling, bright, great layout. The mattress and pillows were very comfortable. The kitchenette was perfect for our needs, had everything we needed. The bathroom looked brand new, loved the big walk-in shower and the long counter top. The view from our room was amazing. We parked right in front of our door, very convenient. The only negatives were the sauna and steam room, too long to warm up and never got hot enough.

Always enjoy our stay here. There was construction happening at the time of our stay which made the overall appearance slightly messy. It will look nice once complete however. Staff are awesome. Only suggestions for the rooms- some coat hooks in the entry, bedrooms and bathrooms would be handy.
