The area was amazing,located on a golf course. The only issue we had ,was the fire alarm went off for the biulding around 930pm,was super loud and waited outside for good 15-20min for it to shut off. We were on the bottom floor,the guests who stayed above us,had children than ran around from 6am to 1030pm,it was SUPER LOUD,hard to sleep at times.Other than that,it was great!!!

Love staying at these properties. Perfect location for lots of activities and day trips. The room is nice. Housekeeping did not show up during our 4 night stay even after I called on the 3rd day. Other than that we enjoyed our stay there.

Our room was very clean. The beds were extremely comfortable. Friendly staff. Would definitely stay again. I only give it a 4 rating because the doorway was covered in cobwebs. I Will definitely recommend to my family and friends

short two night stay

My husband and I got in very late the first night and were unsure where to go. We called the number listed at 12:30 and the phone was answered right away with a pleasant person who got us to the right place. The room was clean and had all we needed.

Check in nightmare

We came to check in with our reservation only to find out that our room was already given to someone else earlier in the day. It then took 30 minutes and several phone calls later to find us a room. The room we had was nice, however the bathroom facet leaked and was falling off the wall.

Was an adequate place to sleep

The mattress was in bad shape with visible dents. The toilet had no lid. The outlets did not hold any plug, as in the things you plugged in just fell out and came unplugged by mere gravity. But it was quiet and convenient for skiing.
