Overall, my stay at this accommodation was satisfactory. I had to make a last-minute booking after my previous accommodation canceled on me, and I was relieved to find this listing with updated availability online. The check-in process was smooth, and the directions were clear, although finding the parking garage was a bit tricky due to snow covering the condo names.
The location was convenient and just a short walk away from Eagle Lodge and the ski lift. It was an easy walk for us, but it might be a bit challenging for those wearing ski boots, especially young children. However, it's closer to the lodge than the roadside parking available once the resort parking lot is full. The condo was warm and cozy upon our arrival, and the pull-out bed in the living room was comfortable and well-equipped with warm bedding.
For the price, this accommodation offered better value than many hotel and motel options further from the slopes, and the kitchen and amenities like the hot tub and sauna were a bonus. However, there were some downsides. The parking garage required going through several heavy doors and up and down a few sets of stairs, making it a bit challenging for elderly visitors or those with young children.
The heater controls were a bit fussy, and it took a while to get them right. We would have loved to use the fireplace for ambiance, but we were provided with just three logs, which was not enough for our three-night stay. The internet did not work, and there was no cell service, which could be a problem for those needing to work remotely. We did try to reset the router to no avail.
The cleanliness was subpar, with mouse droppings in the drawers, questionable stains on the bedding, a dirty sheet on the pull-out couch, trash under the couch, and cheetos on the floor. It would be great if management could implement more thorough cleaning protocols to prevent this from happening in the future.
The hot tub was a bit icky at times and might not meet everyone's cleanliness standards. The overall decor of the condo was a bit retro with mismatched furniture and appliances from the 80s, but it did the job just fine for budget-conscious travelers who prioritize proximity to the ski lift over luxurious amenities.
In conclusion, I would recommend this accommodation to budget-conscious travelers who need a place to sleep and refuel while skiing. However, it's essential to be aware of the cleanliness issues and lack of internet and cell service.
