The lodge is beautiful. The Eagle's Nest is great. My only problem is that we chose this hotel for the location and the fact that they offer a tram down the hill. However, the tram wasn't working. After looking at other reviews, it seems that it hardly works. I think this should be taken out of the hotel description until it is fixed and working regularly. Don't use it as a selling point if it is not available. The hike back up to the hotel is pretty, but brutal after a long day of touring the city. It almost feels like a way to trap you up at the hotel to spend your money there. Not cool.

Customer service was non existent -except for bar staff. Had to call 4 times for pick up from airport ferry. Gift shop person was rude and frustrated because I paid for cash for a small item and not with a card. (Didnt have cash in register). Appears the place hasn’t been updated since it was built. The carpet in our room was dirty. There was orange slim in one corner of the fridge. Windows were dirty. Stay clear

The shuttle to the airport is unreliable. They told me it only runs if they have van drivers. They told me it would run at a particular time in the morning and it didn’t come until 25 minutes later resulting in us missing the airport ferry we hoped to catch. Very frustrating and stressful morning as a result of the shuttle not being available when we were expressly told it would be.

No tram. Hasn't run in years. Iffy shuttle.

Booked it for the view and the convenient lodge tram down to Creek Street that is promoted on the website. The tram hasn't run in years and they are waiting for a part from Italy, so said the staff. To make up for it they run a shuttle up and down the hill. My first night I asked 2 different staff members when the shuttle stopped running and was told 10pm, 'just call when you're ready'. Walked down to town, got some dinner, and at 9:40pm I called for the shuttle now that I was ready to be picked up, as I was told was the process. Well, they'd let the driver go at 9:30 because there weren't any calls. Had to walk back up the hill and then an 82 step set of stairs in 47° drizzle. As to the airport shuttle run the last morning, both drivers said it would go at 7:20am. I'd told the desk I'd need that shuttle for a flight and they noted it in a binder. Got to the lobby at 7:15am. Manager had no idea. Luckily a maintenance guy was lingering nearby so she asked him to drive me because she didn't have a driver there. I did get to the airport and each driver was otherwise great. But take down the tram info and organize the shuttle process.
