Sidney James Mountain Lodge

Sidney James Mountain Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"We had a nice corner room on the 4th floor. It was large and had a table and chairs as well as fridge and microwave. Our balcony faced the creek and it was nice hearing the water, although we had to stand and look down to see it. The bed linens were soft and we had plenty of towels. For the value I think it was an excellent place to stay. The staff were happy and pleasant. The free tram stopped right out front, and it was an easy walk down to the Main Street that had all the shops and restaurants. There is a cafe on site with limited hours but was convenient. There is a nice indoor pool with a waterfall and an outdoor pool. I would stay here again if we are in the area. My only complaint was that the pillows are too hard! I should have asked if they had any soft ones….oh! It was fun and a bit scary watching for the bear who likes to visit and scrounge for food!"

"Our room was clean and beds were comfy. The bathroom was clean and functional also. The Staff was friendly and helpful. They were short staffed so things took a little longer. The room we had has been updated. Keep in mind the property is old so there are things that need updating, like baseboards, doors, balcony furniture, etc. Clean room and being able to park my car for the week and walk everywhere on the strip was the Best!!! We will stay there again in the spring."
