Business traveler
My biggest complaint is since my stay in February, their main office has been hounding me by phone with some type of offer. I wouldn't stay there again due to their aggressive marketing policy. On the most recent call I asked to be removed from their list. We shall see. Regarding the property, I didn't like that the 1BR unit was 2 levels. Tiny living room was on the first level, everything else downstairs.

Ok in some ways-but not luxurious...
Spaciousness and view the best things. Amenities were VERY limited, and when some yahoo rode by oou patio on some kind of ATV for an unexplainable reason at 8AM the morning after we arrived- that woke us up. 'Popcorn and a movie' the following night was equally disappointing. Yes, the movie played, but no popcorn offered, and the latte machine near that area didn't work. Staff was friendly and as accomodating as they could be, but this place is still a work in progress.

Too much noise
The room was ok but the most complaint was about the noise. We were expecting to have a quiet time on vacation and as soon as entered our room you could hear children running back and forth all day and night. We tried to endure it so before checking out early since we were suppose to be there for a week they moved us to another room after making several calls about the noise. Unfortunately when they moved us the second room was worse with the noise than the first room. We ended up checking out early and no one even cared.

Construction upkeep and maintenance is year-round work and I understand. Peak seasons are not the time to be in the middle of construction. The staff was very nice and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay when I booked my room, description, and reservations included a Jacuzzi of which was not available, and also was under the understanding there would be a fitness room. Also not existent. It was very conveniently located to Sugar mountain for skiing.
