Fine hotel; not many frills, continental breakfast was great. Staff was easy to work with. Older property but recently updated. Rooms are pretty small; but work fine.

Mar 26, 2019Restaurants do not display times of service so we missed lunch at the main cafeteria. Had to settle for food at the coffee bar at 2:30. Very disappointing.
5/5 - Excellent

Jan 8, 2019Get there early to get tickets/rentals since line can be long. Maybe get rentals end of day before the day you go to ski, if tour trip allows. Not sure if you can do tickets this way as well...call and ask. Bring you own food if you want since there is an area to eat what you brought. Food cost at ski facility will be pricey depending on your wallet.
