Overall my experience was great. I liked the kitchen area but it was missing a blender and a broom. And I wished they just mention that parking is assigned according to RM number. Area was quiet and clean. A really big plus was that there was a place to take the trash in same property. And that the place had lots of lighting!!! I would definitely stay again.

Management was amazing. Accommodations were good. I had an awesome stay. The only thing there were no trays for baking in the stove. Everything else was amazing and a set of tongs would be nice too lol I’m a chef so go figure.

My girlfriend and I were quite disappointed with the place. The front was dirty, once inside-the hallway really smelled bad, No air conditioning at all ( one floor fan), not enough towels provided, extremely small refrigerator that couldn't accommodate 2- liter bottles, the auto turn -on light when you walk into the bathroom was very annoying and would wake up the other person sleeping

We enjoyed our stay!

A little confusing when we arrived, as to which was our room. However, we figured it out. Room was cute and gave us what we needed, including coffee set up, a refrigerator and microwave oven. I appreciated the messages, that the staff checked with me if all was fine. I would come back to this place if in the area

Property had no air conditioning. Property was not maintained. Shower rod kept falling, there were holes in the walls. Bedding had not been cleaned from previous renter. Said non smoking but reaked of cigarettes. Whoever is maintaining the property may want to do some upkeep on the unit as well as the weeds that were growing in the front. Pictures were not current. This was like staying at the bates motel.

It’s everything you want in a place that’s affordable and close to nearly everything you’d want. If you’re looking for a cheap clean spot to stay at while looking to snowboard and ski this is your spot!
