Lovely view and amazingly friendly staff. Second time we stay here in less than a month. Orbitz VIP indicated the possibility of room upgrade but this wasn’t offered on either stay. Maybe next time? Truly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it.

Old, rundown, poorly managed

This was, emphasis on was once a beautiful property. Reviews and the rating stars are of the past not the present condition.the place is rundown, poorly managed and in desperate need of repairs, upkeep, maintenance and updating. It is so filthy, that we tossed the socks we used to walk on the floors. Equipment being old, and the place being filthy was topped by unfamiliar and unhelpful from the staff who attempted to help that seem to be unfamiliar with their property and their job. The carpets were old and dirty, couch was stained all over made you uncomfortable to sit and they laminated floor sticky even when you were walking with your socks on. Lack of care is present everywhere including all the remotes with the battery door hanging and not closing even the replacement ones that they gave us, a broken old coffee pot a percolator one that doesn't work, dry powder milk creamer coffee creamer and a tea selection that is only orange pico and a place that is Kitchener equipped by without a single roll of paper towel or anything to wipe with

OK but surprises were negative not positive

Clean but property and room are dated. Furniture and carpet old and dirty appearance. There was no air conditioning!!! This should be clear when booking and was not for me. "Shuttle" to/from town is via a public transportation prepaid card - not any sort of private shuttle. No views. at least from our room location. It was fine, but for the high cost I expected a great deal more; we could have stayed downtown for same cost.

Great views, comfortable space, tight parking

The Tunnel Mountain Resort was a great place to relax and spend the night after a long day’s hike! We really enjoyed the loft structure, with two beds on top and a bedroom on the first floor. It gave our group some separation and space, but there was also a living room for all of us to enjoy together. The check-in process with smooth, with the hotel providing us our perk for being Silver Hotels.com members! There are a lot of amenities, but we didn’t even use many because we were always outside enjoying the lakes and environment. The parking is tight in the lot, with a lot of cars filling up spaces, but it was still doable. The balcony facing the trees and mountains was a nice touch and great way to end the night!

The staff were all friendly and accommodating. Just need to fix the drainage of the bath tub, The drainage seems not working properly, also pls add bigger garbage bins, having 6-7 people the tiny bin is not enough. Also it would be great if you enter the room smells good. But I will still give excellent review because of the staff being hospitable and friendly. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
