The Josie Hotel, Autograph Collection

The room was spacious and the location on the mountain was ideal.

The beds and pillows were amazingly comfortable!

The views were amazing, the room was big and comfortable, and the free secure bike storage was a nice add on. I was also pleasantly surprised by the free daily events. Would stay here again!

The staff and the place were great. We were very well taken care of. The cute Saunas were a highlight, and there is even a gym. The restaurant has nice bistro like food.

Loved the atmosphere, the staff was super friendly. The room was exceptional, very clean.

YOU COULD NOT ASK FOR A BETTER SKI IN SKI OUT EXPERIENCE

The Josie has a fabulous location on the mountain. The view of Red Mt. was outstanding. We enjoyed the large bar after skiing with very friendly bartenders.

Location was great. Proximity to the lift. Concierge service with skis.

We stayed at the Josie earlier this month for a ski week at Red Mountain, BC. The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are comfortable. I had a great view of the mountain and the ski in/ski out experience was great. One of the very best things about the stay was the ski valet service. We dropped off our skis when we checked in and they took care of them after that, moving them outside for our use each morning. They also held our ski boots overnight and our regular boots/shoes while we were skiing. They were friendly and very professional. Kudos for the ski valet!!
I'm giving fewer stars than 5 due to some other issues. Not super important but annoying was that the room was too dark. There were lamps around the edges but no overhead light and when it was dark out it was hard to find things in the suitcases and drawers.
One other issue was the sauna. It started out nice and hot at 95 degrees but after about 1/2 hour it was down to 65. Major bummer. And they don't have a hot tub, which would be very nice for soaking in during a weeklong ski vacation.
One last review is for the on-site restaurant, the Velvet. I have to say it was the worst restaurant I've been to. I was not feeling well for a couple days and ordered the chicken soup via room service. The soup was awful. It tasted like a can of overcooked chunky soup with brown gravy. Yuck! I couldn't eat it even though I hadn't eaten all day. The next night I had a caesar salad in the restaurant and that was also awful. It was like watered down dressing with no flavor, hardly any parmesan and overcooked, hard croutons. They really need to get a better chef since there are not many food options available nearby for apres ski/dinner without taking a shuttle into town.
The daily breakfast included with the room, also at the Velvet, was just ok. I liked the egg frittata and the pumpkin bread but they only had each of them one time during the week. The daily bacon was not crisp, the sausage was terrible, the scrambled eggs were dry, and they had dry, tasteless pastries every day. They did have fresh fruit, which was nice, but I wish there was more variety, and more berries, and not as much tasteless canteloupe and melon. I want to add that I am not a foodie. I am NOT picky, so the restaurant had to be really bad for me to have this reaction. I heard they've gone through many chefs, so something needs to be done on that front.

Incredible staff, couldn’t be nicer, and fantastic location mere steps from the ski lift made this a perfect spot. Excellent restaurant and nice exercise facility were added bonuses.
