Great place for a weekend stay
Pros:

The location and building was nice and quiet. The instructions were clear for entering the building. The shower was nice and hot and the towels were soft and fluffy.

Cons:

The toaster oven. I packed soup in a plastic container for my meal and had nothing to cook it in, and nothing to use to remove the hot bowl from the oven.

Pros:

Exceptionnel !
Chambre suite parfaite avec tout le nécessaire et même plus.
La machine, sèche linge est un vrai plus
L'espace sauna, hammam, jacuzzi est un vrai plus.
Très propre et très confortable
Situé en haut de la station de golden donc prévoir 15minute de voiture mais ça ne nous a pas dérangé au vu du cadre

Lovely Mountain Stay
Pros:

The location in the mountains but a short drive from town so great views from our balcony (when the clouds lifted). We stayed in a suite which was very cosy and clean. No issuws with parking - plenty of space. Nice hot tub, sauna & steam room. Staff remote but very response to any queries during our stay. Check In was no problem at all. Would definately stay here again if I am lucky enough to visit the area in the future.

Cons:

No red flags for me at all. I’ve seen some critical reviews and all I can say is that our accommodation was great and the check in was hassle free.

Perfect Ski Resort
Pros:

Clean and spacious, comfortable king-size bed, tidy bathroom. We enjoyed hot tub and sauna. Very quiet location, 12 km away from Golden. Functional kitchenette in the room and a small grocery shop in the building. Proximity to the skiing hill and bear refuge.

Cons:

Some sand in the hot tub.

Pros:

Roomy bathroom, Washing machine and dryer, Kitchen is good. Furnitures are enough.

Cons:

There was a sudden electric outage caused from the wildfire and lasted for 26 hours. During time my food is melt or changed in the refrigerator. No elevator(dark starecases), no hot water, no shower, no mobile service. It was all around at Golden.
After that, the lodge compensated for that. Sorry for the wildfires

Pros:

La habitación y los servicios perfectos.

Cons:

Lejos del pueblo. Esta en una estación de esquí, por lo tanto si vas en invierno a esquiar es una ubicación perfecta, pero los que viajamos en verano con otras intenciones, se tardaban 15 minutos en coche hasta el pueblo de Golden.
