The location was great, right at the base of the hill. The staff were very friendly in addressing our problems with the room. The bathroom and living spaces were small but comfortable. Ski lockers right at the exit of the elevator, 50 feet from the hill. The main day lodge restaurant and apres bar also right off the elevator. Great apres music by Oliver McQuaid. Amazing artist. Super convenient.

“Great stay, only other thing you could've done would be organise a bit more powder snow :)”
The properties were obviously well specified when new, but are now a little "tired" with plumbing a bit unreliable, the internet a bit flaky and the furniture showing signs of wear, but still serviceable. For me travelling with two children (aged 9 & 11) who were only interested in very basic catering and getting out on the ski hill it was absolutely perfect. All of the staff we encountered were 110% keen to help in whatever way they could!

“A very nice spot, very quiet.”
Location was lovely and peaceful. However, because of the time we were there (Tues and Wed), the restaurant in the lodge was not open. We recognize that this is likely as a result of the pandemic and the low numbers of travellers at the time.
