Stayed here for one night and never again. Shower curtain was stained. No hot watwr to shower in the morning. Beds were terrible. My 8 yr old said all you could feel was the wires(springs). Bed I slept in was sunken in. Paper thin walls. Flooring is uneven. A 2x4 is used to make the bed level. Flooring material is painted concrete and plywood.

I didn’t feel safe when outside the facility (in a pretty rundown area) but I had my son and adult grandson with me and they really liked it. It was very close (feet) from a heavily traveled road. There was a significant smell of marijuana smoke in the area. Last thought was the twin bed mattresses were not comfortable. On the positive side it was very historic with lots of amenities like a kitchen, pool table, and outdoor grilling area and it was pet friendly.

Don’t waste your money

The entire place is extremely run down. The furniture in the common areas was stained and had holes. The flooring was the same. Our room had paneling for flooring. It looked as though it hadn’t been vacuumed before we arrived. There was no staff on site which was fine but the text messages kept saying they could get us anything we needed.

Very rustic lodge feel, loved the quaint village and local shops. Great room size and price for 2 adult and 2 teenage/young adults. Had a lot of character but needed several repairs and updates. Only saw one staff person and he disappeared after we checked in. His voice mail was full and we needed more bath towels. Loved the common area with pool table, games and fireplace. The place is for sale and just needs a little more TLC.

Liked: Staff & service
Snow Palace is essentially a youth hostel, but my wife and I were able to get a dorm to ourselves with a private bath. The place was a bit funky and down scale, but had a lot of character and interesting non-chain touches (a pool table, shelves of books, a full kitchen to cook in, an organic garden in the back ...). As "geezers"who last stayed in youth hostels decades ago, it was also fun to have breakfast and talk with young hiker/ backpackers. The one real complaint we had was a small bathroom with a tiny sink that had a shelf right over it that made it very difficult to brush our teeth.

Great Place

Checked in by staff and they were friendly + courteous. Toured me around the facility and I met two Aussies that I struck up conversation with. Stayed in men's dorm and it had seven beds yet I was by myself first three nights. Dorm had shower + bathroom and both were very clean. Met a few couples staying upstairs in private rooms and they commented how nice they were as well. Breakfast was self-serving yet they had cereal, eggs, toast etc. I woke up every morning to fresh coffee then hard-boiled eggs and it was tasty! If you're a hiker/adventurous soul or a couple looking for a quiet place, Snow Mansion and it's staff will make for an incredible stay!

More of an old fashioned hostel than modern hotel.

This is not really a hotel. It is more like a early 1970’s youth hostel. Everything is old, worn and appears second or third hand. This includes bedding and towels. Rooms are decorated in a manner resembling an explosion at a cheap flea market. Exposed wires run down room walls and power outlets are oddly placed. Bathroom was only slightly larger than toilet on an airplane. Walls are thin and floors creak so badly there is Quite Hours policy from 10 pm until 8 am. Lobby has books and board games If you are looking to relive hippie era student travel, you might enjoy a stay here. It did bring back memories for me. If that is not the case, find another place to stay.
