Holiday Homes in Kootenay Rockies

"Having the gondola right outside our door was wonderful and being able to ski right to our hotel was also such a delight! The little village is cute, with everything you need right there! Staff were helpful and polite! Room was good!"

"Great stay! The room was clean, staff were friendly, and the location was very convenient. Overall a comfortable experience."

"clean room, comfy bed, a bit loud with the train."

"Usually a solid motel, this time with an ant infestation in bathroom. Couldn’t access toilet or shower without stepping on ants in the AM. "

"The non smoking room was smoky."

"The pool area is nice and with 4 pools at least one pool should be off limits to children. We also had a snafu with the bedding (stained comforter) but once we told the staff it was immediately replaced. "

"Laundry room available."

"This was our first visit to ELL for a couple evenings. The room was ok… but I think there is a significant difference from revitalized rooms versus the “lodge” tier. The bathroom was cramped, low light and a bit damp. Cocktails at the bar were a little on the weak end. The burger was quite good, the pasta was terrible. Morning options of baked goods weren’t memorable, but the in room tea and nespresso coffee were appreciated. There are limited xc trails in the area if you are skiing and the lake trail as well as alluvial fan become destroyed from walkers on the tracks. Stick to the connector trail for pure skiing rather than skier setting. The hot tub was great as well as the sauna (be sure to turn it on as soon as you enter, it’s slow to warm up). Showers in the clubhouse building were hit or miss on hot water. Up and downstairs of the main lodge are great places to hang out. Check out the games cabinet upstairs (please add a couple packs of playing cards ELL staff) as well as some toys for little ones. I would return again and bring better local choices for beverages to enjoy while there, as well as some charcuterie, fruit and cheeses to enjoy in room. We ordered one to have in our room on arrival but it was underwhelming for the price paid. Other than food offerings, I think ELL is a great place to unwind and make a memory or two."

"Price and location was convenient but next time will ask for a room on the outside as that was quieter last time!"
