Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Pros: good location, shuttle to ski hills, good restaurant for dinner, nice hot pool, comfy bed, easy parking in garage. Cons: hockey team stayed two of my three nights. Loud running groups of people all evening till late despite calling front desk. Pools open late so guests coming back to room 10:30 pm loud in hall next to my room. Noisy and loud hard for skiers who need sleep and get up early. Fridge froze my food but hotel replaced it right away. Bathroom fixtures need some repair. Decor is worn. I wouldn’t stay here again due to noise.
