“Good place, old fashioned but comfortable.”
Great location in the middle of the ski area. Staff were friendly and helpful, and had good English. Quiet and relaxing in the evening. Was great to have a pool table.

“Wonderful experience”
I rarely write reviews, but when something is really out of the ordinary, I do. THE STAFF WAS REALLY HELPFUL. They are quick to respond when you want help. They also speak very good English.

“Outstanding location, staff and food.”
Outstanding location, particularly good if using taqubin for ski gear. Staff friendly and very helpful. Breakfast is excellent with a huge variety. Try to do the first tracks which allows you skiing before the mountain opens.

“Very Uncomfortable Stay”
Located in the middle of the mountain with good atmosphere and vibes. Real ski-in / ski-out, the chair lift is literally next to the hotel. Rental gears are good quality and cheaper. It’s easy to arrange rental and return gears if you provide info beforehand. Breakfast is great. Rest area is huge in quiet hours.

“Great location but...”
Location near bottom of lift was good for easy skiing access in morning and could buy a lift ticket at the lift station as well. Very pretty lodge from outside especially at twilight but...

“Fantastic on mountain accommodation”
Talk about Ski in Ski out!! I didn't actually realise when I booked, that this is completely on mountain accommodation. Absolutely outstanding. Room was clean and comfortable, staff were absolutely great. Very helpful and accommodating. Breakfast in the mornings had a great selection to fuel up for the slopes and I thought other meals were tasty and great value for money. Catch the Ropeway and get picked up in a snowmobile.. how many places can you stay that do that!!
