Property was outdated, extremely noisey at all hours of the day and night. Geared towards a younger crowd looking to party. Not suitable for families or anyone looking for a relaxing vacation.

Overall a great stay. The Approach room didn't have a fridge which was a little inconvenient but there is a shared ice machine and microwave. The room was clean and quiet with a great view from the balcony. Restaurants were close by with excellent food. Would stay again.

It was great having a room facing the mountain and a private hot tub away from the main area. Food was excellent at the restaurants and we enjoyed walking everywhere and taking the lift up to trails. Note: rooms on 5th floor require walking up two flights of stairs. Also bring a hair dryer and kettle if you want those amenities.

Construction around the property. The parking lot was a patch of dirt. It felt raw. But enjoy the stay anyway!
