The facilities were fine, but the room was quite dated. Worn carpets, broken patio screen etc.
Pros:

Check in was easy and the staff was attentive of some of the issues that came up during our stay.

Cons:

It would be nice if there were more information pamphlets in the room on how to operate the TV and related equipment. I don't know if there was a way to watch local sports on the television but I couldn't figure it out. All it seemed I could access was streaming services like Prime, Paramount+, etc. I was trying to find TSN to watch the Blue Jays and couldn't find it.

Vacation... You need to make the best out of a crappy situation. Life is too short to not too.
Pros:

Location of the place was great. Loved that it was on the mountain, and easy to do the activities on the hill, and get to town. We love the outdoors and booked this place for that reason. it was really great that way. and the staff on the hill for the activities were so knowledgeable and helpful also. highly recommend

Cons:

We were not given the room we booked and needed to move two times to get somewhat similar reservations. I have used booking.com for years and this is the first time ever that I have not been given what I booked. when I contacted the owners, they did give us a new room, but we had to move two times to accommodate our stay, and it really just made the stay very inconvenient.

Beautiful location, but disappointing maintenance, cleanliness, and lack of on-site support.
Cons:

It’s sad to see accommodation in such a beautiful location be so poorly managed.

Self-check-in is perfectly fine when everything works, but it becomes a real problem when there is no one around to ask for help and basic things aren’t functioning. The shower didn’t drain properly, and the overall cleanliness of the room left a lot to be desired, especially considering the $85 cleaning fee.

The suite also showed significant signs of disrepair, including large cracks in the floor tiles. We couldn’t find an ice machine and, again, there was no one available to ask. Most disappointing of all, both saunas had signs saying they were “closed indefinitely.”

The location is beautiful and the property has so much potential, which makes the lack of maintenance and management particularly disappointing. It could be a wonderful place to stay, but the current condition and lack of support made the experience frustrating.

Bien equipado salvo por la nevera ruidosa
Pros:

El alojamiento está muy bien equipado

Cons:

Si eres sensible al ruido, lleva tapones para poder dormir con el ruido de la nevera. Otro punto negativo es que está bastante retirado de los principales puntos de interés.

God base for udforskning af Nationalparker
Pros:

Stor rummelig suite med masser af plads også på badeværelset. God bruser. Flot udsigt over bjergene fra balkonen. Fin base for at udforske Kootenay og Yoho hvis man gerne vil have en lidt billigere mulighed end Banff/Canmore.

Cons:

Sengen var forfærdelig! Alt for hård uden nogen støtte og med alt for høje puder.

Overall wasnt happy
Pros:

No breakfast, the suite would have been nice if was cleaned ablot better. Looks like they only made bed really.

Cons:

Location was pretty nice but internet/wifi barely worked. Couldn't even watch a movie on Netflix. Place was Dirty. Table not even wiped, microwave and appliances dirty, floors weren't done well... washer/dryer stunk and needed cleaning. Hair in several areas of the fabric couch. Bedroom closet had two very nasty dirty fans and dirty blankets that weren't even folded in the closet. I asked twice for extra towels never received. Customer service was terrible. No breakfast, pay extra for parking even though their own site said complimentary but wouldn't honor that. If was clean and better service I would have considered staying again.

It was a beautiful place to come relax. Refresh.
Pros:

I love the atmosphere the quiet the restaurants close by were really good a store if you forgot something hiking was easy to get to. It’s a place you can go relax leave everything behind and decompress.

Cons:

There’s only one thing I did not like, but I survived no air conditioning.
