I had an amazing view from my room that had the most lovely high ceilings. Everything was quite spacious and clean, including the bathrooms. I definitely took advantage of the hot tubs on the 5th floor. The ease of access to the ski shuttle and downtown restaurants and shopping was perfect. My only critique was the allowance of several small (4 to be exact, over 2 different nights) children into the liunge area that does explicitly state "no minors." I would've stayed for a drink while waiting on the hot tubs the second night, but they were jumping on the couches and shrieking. Considering it was easy for me to leave, I did so. But something they should consider reinforcing.

The hotel and restaurant staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is amazing for anyone who wants to be close to restaurants and shops, but it is also very quiet. I enjoyed walking downstairs for happy hour or a meal at Brazen and the hot tubs were amazing at the end of the day. The rooms were very nice - comfy bed, nespresso coffee makers, nice soap in the shower. Very clean. I had a great stay and would be happy to go back again!

Hotel is very nice, lobby is a bit small but very cozy and smells soo good in there. Was surprised how big the hotel room was with 2 Queen beds. Originally we booked a room with a King bed (I asked the room on higher level to be closer to roof top hot tub. Unfortunately the room view was at the brick wall ...yes you are in the mountains and will be looking at the brick wall out of the window... so I asked for another room hoping it would not be a problem as it's not a high season right now, they struggled a bit a but the staff was trying to accommodate us and they got us into a room with 2 Queen beds on the same floor window facing a main street. It was very nice and clean, except there were 3 tennis ball size stains on the carpet but we did not care about that as much as about the view. The reason we booked this hotel was the location and the roof top hot tubs, but unfortunately the hot tubs were a bit disappointment. There are quite small (only 4 people allowed in one), one was closed and the the one which was working was quite dirty (black stains all along the water level). Plus it was very slippery all around the hot tub so we had to be very careful to get in and get out. There is nice closed lounge area with the view on the roof top as well, but we chose the hotel because the hot tubs and those were not the highlight of our stay unfortunately.
