Pros:

Unit was spacious, kitchenette well-equipped. Staff was friendly.

Cons:

Nice to have a pool, however the hot tub was disappointing since only one jet was working, and it was not very strong.
Also, I think the place was ski-in/out but this was not clear.

Room had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, will definitely consider this location again.
Pros:

The one bedroom suite was spacious and had everything we needed for our girls getaway. The location was great for our weekend plans - close to Vetta and other activities that we had planned. Decor is dated, but comfortable. We didn’t use the pool or other facilities.

Overall this is my family’s happy place. Have been coming to the region annually for over 30 years. We will be back ag
Pros:

Love the area. Lots to see and do in the region.
We like the full kitchen, access to gym and pool. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Unit was well stocked with kitchen needs.

Cons:

No restaurant / cafe / snack bar on site, but hopefully that will change in the future. Outdoor pool would be nice, but indoor pool was spacious. Unfortunately there were many kids the weekend we were there that were running up and down the stairs and onto rear balconies playing tag until 11 pm.
