Fall Stay

Good location and probably similar or better than the other accommodations up North. No body soap is given (only bar soap), and we did not receive room service for one night (but you can probably call them for it). Infrastructure felt a bit poor, as the parking lot was packed (no parking lines did not help), there are no sidewalks in the front, and there are no street lamps driving in. Pool facilities were nice, but note that the hot tub’s capacity is 14 people.

Mediocre toilet

The room was very clean. However, the low-flow toilet really wasn’t getting the job done. The toilet paper wouldn’t flush down no matter what I did.

My room was not clean when I got there. And the desk was not really under staffed. And due to the location not to have breakfast ever is a real shame

More than we expected

Amazing views from our room. Free some more set up so you can have fun by the fire! Giant chess. Bocce ball and cornhole. The most amazing staff ever! Staff from all around the world makes chitchatting so incredibly interesting. Watch the gondolas go up and down the mountain. Beautiful gift shop. Far more than we expected. Absolutely beautiful and we will be back.

Staff was extremely accommodating once we got there. There seems to have been miscommunication before arrival, for arranging things such as gondola passes and shuttle services. “Misplacing the bookings”. Once I expressed my frustration they did seem to get the matter resolved. The shuttle service driver Jacob was absolutely amazing. Was available the second we called, and made our experience amazing! Dealing with 14 bachelorette party ladies was definitely a tall task!Deserves a raise for sure!
