Pros +
- Location was close to skiing
- I love the view from room 206D and the location was great we were 2/3 minutes away from Sugar Mountain Ski Resort if you¿re driving. Hotel employee was very spacious a very comfortable fit for my family of 7.
- The location and the view
Cons -
- Old hotel. Very dated. Could hear the footsteps of our upstairs neighbor. WiFi signal so weak no devices could connect. Visible water damage on the ceilings. Overall not happy with the price I paid for this room.
- Cleanliness of the room is below average. Very dusty, tub was not cleaned from the past guest, crumbs under the sofa, cobwebs and strands hair on the sheets. If they invested in a better cleaning company or hired better cleaning staff this place would be.
- The pullout couch bed mattress was terrible

Location to hiking trails, alpine coaster, restaurants.
We booked this hotel expecting the pool and rec room to be accessible. When we checked in, nothing was said of those amenities being unavailable. Nothing noted on the website/booking page of the amenities being unavailable either.
Very spacious rooms, very cozy, room was warm and inviting when we first got there. The complimentary shuttle between hotel and resort was very nice. The view was great.
The only complaint I have is that this hotel was tucked away back in the mountain. Tough to get to if snowing and your vehicle cannot handle it.
The location was great. The view beautiful. Fireplace in room. Staff was excellent. Bed was comfy.
I was surprised at how old it was. Walked in and it was clean but smelled musty and needs to be updated. paint peeling outside, countertops nicked up, lineoulem torn...
Amazing views! Excellent one bedroom apartment was a surprise as we expected a one room suite. Fantastic location. Gorgeous all round! Loved the fireplace and garden tub. The club house is well eqipped to entertain kids and teens so we'll be back with the
The location of the hotel made it convenient to visit a variety of attractions.
They should have advertised that they do not have air conditioning. We went in June, and the first night we were a little hot. They provided us with two box fans. One broke; I asked for it to be replaced. They promised they would, but they never did.
