Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a delightful stay with well-equipped rooms at a great price, though the selection of in-room products could be improved. The service is exceptional, making celebrations special and efficient, with a warm welcome upon arrival. Located conveniently for both relaxation and outdoor activities, with easy access to ski facilities. The dining experience is top-notch, offering a perfect start to adventurous days on the mountains.
I felt just like in a real ski lodge with a wood fire, excellent restaurant, great complimentary breakfast, and a comfortable warm room. The lodge was priced very well for the size and standard, and the ambiance was cozy and inviting. The rooms were clean and perfect for our needs, keeping us warm and snug during our stay.
I had a wonderful time celebrating with family at this hotel. The rooms, although needing some airing out initially, were exceptionally clean. The service from the staff was excellent, very friendly, welcoming, and supportive. The location was great, offering stunning views of the mountains, making it a peaceful and scenic retreat. The dining experience was amazing, with plenty of options, including dairy/gluten-free choices. Overall, a great place for a short stay, especially outside of the main ski season.
