TV wouldn't stay on

The TV would only stay on for a minute or two before rebooting itself. Maybe it was overheating(?) but it was 100% unwatchable. Disappointing but otherwise it was a decent place for the money.

I needed a one night stay to go skiing, and everything went well from the check in, on. The room was clean. There were plenty of plugs for my electronics. I was close to whole foods where I got my dinner. Also, close to the ski lodge I was looking for.

Ants in the Shower

When I got there, the room I reserved was not available due to the toilet/shower being clogged. I was compensated with another room that was not the same. I paid for two connecting rooms. They gave me seperate rooms instead. On top of that, the new room contained ants in the shower. The front desk worker told me that he would reach out to me for a possible refund but I have not gotten a call since. I rarely ever leave reviews and don't like calling places out but this was not a very fun time for my birthday :(

Just don’t

They had a metal electric portal heater in the room which is so unsafe for children. There was sign that said not to unplug it or a fuse would break. No warning it was on when we checked in. It’s a small space, dated and I did not trust sleeping in the bed or using the water. My son broke out in a rash after a shower. Just don’t. Pay an extra $40 and stay at a more reliable place. It’s not worth it.

To be honest it was just pretty old because the pictures on the website did not match at all. It needs to be renovated asap, there was no hot water and the shower head was super low in general a really small area. Besides that very friendly staff and pretty clean hotel room.
