L’établissement a bien répondu à nos besoins du moment.
Pros:

La patience du préposé pour expliquer à des persnnes âgées peu technos le principe et l’obtention de la clé virtuelle.

Cons:

La clé virtuelle. Nous avons réussi à l’utiliser, mais non sans difficulté.

Fine, with exception of autmated chckin
Pros:

Super clean, good location for skiing, big room

Cons:

They use an automated app download link thing sent to your phone to let you in and unlock the door. It did not work for me. I arrived after staff were in bed. Good idea to have the emergency number ( 802 375 3035 ) - not only the main front desk line- if you will arrive after desk hours are shut.

Great value, location, staff and food.
Pros:

Food was very good. Staff was great.

Cons:

The heater in the room was very noisy. The tv cable access was quite limited. Could not watch the Celtics game. That station was not available.

Lovely people, but need to be upfront about no elevator or breakfast.
Pros:

The staff was great, and the dinner we had there was very good. The lounge looked comfortable, but we didn’t use it.

Cons:

We thought they served breakfast but they don’t—but the staff recommended a place we really enjoyed. There was no elevator, which was hard for my husband, who uses a cane. And we didn’t realize that so didn’t request the ground floor, so he had to navigate stairs.

A return visit that fully met my expectation
Pros:

I had one excellent dinner in their restaurant the evening I arrived at the Lodge.

Cons:

The electronic access to the room via the phone app did not work, so I had to get a key card from the owner, but that is a very minor issue.

Beautiful location and welcoming staff; facilities a bit worn.
Pros:

The Upper Pass Lodge is in a beautiful location. We took a late afternoon walk up the road to the ski lodge, and really enjoyed the gorgeous view of Magic Mountain. The woman who checked us in was very friendly and welcoming. She also did the job of bartender when we stopped in after dinner for a drink - and again - she was very kind. The main room downstairs had a cozy fire and we enjoyed hanging out there for a bit. Free wifi was also greatly appreciated.

Cons:

The facilities themselves were clean enough, but pretty worn around the edges. We had a room right over the kitchen area and it was fairly noisy. The shower door didn't close properly, and the mini-split heating unit took a very long time to come on. The bed was adequate, but not super-comfortable. The room lacked features that might have made the stay a bit more convenient - like a night stand on both sides of the bed, or a soap holder in the bathroom.
