Go off season as long as you expect to want nothing but quiet and no crowds. No elevator service as this is when maintenance is done on them. Vending machine service is extremely limited. No dining options. No stores. Eat in Golden, BC or bring your food with you. Very small rooms.

Room was dusty and old. My room was very tiny with only one outlet and the people we traveled with all had different room layouts so some were better than others, even though they're all supposed to be the same.

We were there for a wedding. Once checked in, I was shocked on how tiny the room was. When we were relaxing in the room, the TV service was absolutely horrible and not user friendly as wanted to watch current live shows but we were watching older shows. We ate at the Jeffery room, and it was amazing. Also on the property we are able to buy a few gifts at the nice gift shop, and enjoyed drinks at the brewery. My two complaints first, which is out of the hotels control, the mosquitos were absolutely horrible. Second, is the hotel is fairly well updated outside and some updates inside, they really should invest in mini split heat/cooling pumps for their rooms. A loud floor fan and a single screen door was just not enough to cool the rooms down Just wanted to point out that I really appreciated the chair lift crew who accommodated the wedding guest by stopping the chair or slowing it down, greeting guest as we walked up to the chair. The ceremony spot was set up beautifully. Great work.

The building seemed dated and a bit run down. Each time we interacted with guest services there was some sort of hiccup whether it was with the staff or the hotel’s software. Overall staff seemed friendly and tried to be helpful, but we found the hotel to be noisy and it need of some TLC.

Spacious rooms with a comfy king size bed. That’s probably the nicest things I can say. For a resort that is open in summer having no aircon in the rooms is a big no no. Sure they’ve provided a mosquito net around the door so you can have the room cool down naturally but then you get to hear the joyous chorus of children screaming and intoxicated patrons from the bar on the ground floor for hours while you try to sleep. The bed also has this gigantic frame that sticks out about 30cm from the mattress so getting in and out can leave you with bruises. The resort could also do with a facelift. Carpet around the place was worn and the walls could do with a fresh coat of paint. No communal laundry for guests is also a let down unless you can afford a suite where a washing machine is provided. Food options in the resort are also rather limited Monday-Wednesday. Everything is shut on a Tuesday while one restaurant or bar is open on the Monday/Wednesday. There’s also only one very slow elevator in the building so I hope you like using the stairs!

Amazing location!

Great location! Amazing views from the room. Multiple activities available on the resort. Good WiFi and cable connectivity. Disappointed with room services (had one visit in 9 days) and we had to pick up ourselves sheets, towels and coffee. Room was not clean at the end of our stay (floor and dust)

Loved being up on the mountain, views were amazing; but the rooms were in need of some upkeep, the linens were dirty (even when we asked for fresh ones), and the floors needed a good vacuum/scrub. There was a live bedbug in the sheets in our first room. We were grateful to be moved out of there to the other building where the room was much nicer, but still could have been improved with better cleaning and linens without stains.

This was a remote location and despite having much property they charged extra to secure your car. There wasn't a dining room that was open to a consistent time. This is far away from the main city. It's a modern appearance but they had a surprise $13 charge when you arrive and the vending machine was broken.
