Clean and cozy. It has a neat community living area with coffee pots, supplies and a large refrigerator to keep your items. Television access in room and living room. Great apps to watch anything you want. We will stay again!

This was the perfect stay for me and my husband! We rode our motorcycles so having the hot tub for our sore muscles was perfect!

Great place to stay for ski races at the local mountains. Convenient and walkable to town. Common areas are comfortable and having coffee was a bonus. Beds were comfortable and suite had loads of space for all of us. Washing machine was not working during our stay. Shower and shower curtain in our suite needs a good scrub (some mildew). I would recommend for a weekend in ELV.

We found our room very easily but there were several items that were not acceptable esp since it dealt with safety. Smoke detector not even there only wires hanging out of ceiling. It was a warm evening so we thought we'd turn air on but there wasn't one available and on a 3rd floor window no screen. We did look for the fire exit which was right outside of our room but there were several pieces of furniture blocking the doorway. The minor infractions were that the soap supplies were large community shared containers rather than individual use. Towels were clean but minimal ( I bath/1 hand towel and 1 washcloth). We never saw any office staff coming in or leaving to assist. In the am we went down to get some coffee and found the keureg had an error message on and a large pot was apparently made but empty since there was a large group using the room and not available for us.

The parking lot was an ice rink so be careful. I wish the code was just send as an email as there was a few steps involved in obtaining it. (I'm not that tech savvy). Other than that it was great.

The cleanliness was questionable. I wasn’t sure if the random large size toiletries, were for me to use or left over from the previous guests.. Whoever painted the the place did a horrible job. There was paint on the trim, door and peeling off the walls in the shower. I was almost tempted to fix the drywall damage.Great location, very walkable and nice common area.

This is a cool little place off the beaten path. Loved that the rooms were bigger than a normal hotel room and could accommodate our larger family. It’s a tad rustic, but room was clean and stocked with everything you would need.

Cute lodge, only a short walk from all the main attractions in town. Love the easy checkin with the access box. Room was super clean and just what we needed for the overnight stay, but I do wish there was a small air conditioner or at least a screen in the window so we could have left that open. I would book here again though just for the location and peacefulness. Room 203

This is an OK place for one night. We heard much noice from another room from people who woke us up in the middle of the night, upon arrival. We could hear two women talking and laughing loudly. Perhaps some sound proofing would help. The shower was small and the shower head was at odd angle that was uncomfortable to shower with. We ended up purchasing toilet paper as the roll our room had was dangerously low, and there was no extra toilet paper readily available in the room. After contacting management, an extra roll was delivered to our room and placed outside the door.

The room was small with a small bathroom and small " built in" type shower. All of that is fine if the daily rate justifies the facility. This proprty was clean, and served our purpose of needing somewhereto stay, but is definitely over priced.

Very basic. The shower is tiny. The picture of the room doesn’t match the room. There is no bah mat. On the positive side it was quiet and relatively inexpensive compared to other options.

The property is a short walk to town and very easy check in. We stayed in room 103 it was a 2 bedroom, clean and the couch and chair were comfortable. Decor was fine. The Shower needs a gut job (although pressure and temp were fantastic) and some of the ceiling tiles need to be replaced. The beds were way too soft on the bunk beds and there were absolutely zero dressers to store our clothing. Strangest thing. If I was there skiing for a week I would have been really upset but we were only there for the night. Nice to have the full kitchen to cook as option for longer stays and each room had a bar fridge too. I would stay here again, perhaps in another room with a firmer mattress. Jess was great.

Great on all accounts, except one thing... The under-powered window air conditioner. It got pretty uncomfortable. Granted , the humidity last night was extremely high. But, hoping they can figure out the AC situation. Even still, we would come back for sure, and recommended to our friends.

This review is about Suite 103. We booked it for 4 adults. It had 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Check-in was easy: a code was sent to us via text to unlock the keypad. But it was all downhill from there. Beds were terribly uncomfortable. Bedrooms did not have a dresser or closet! Nor was there a place to put an open suitcase except on the floor. Bathroom was large but was a lot of empty space; it had only a small vanity and small dimly-lit shower. No towel bars, hooks, shelves. Towels were old and were stacked on a stool.

Room/site location was ideal for our visit. Room was clean, one issue with entering was that I never received an email with the room access code. Booked through Hotels.com so not sure where the ball was dropped; at least there was a phone # to call and code was provided. Temperature control of the room was non-existent. Had to have a window open (glad it was October because no screen on the window) and the fan running all night. Room temp equalized at 76/77. Found no way to turn the temp down. Room was comfy other than the temp.
