It was a great place to stay very satisfied
It was a great place to stay very close to the gondola two person. Hot tub was just what we needed after a long day on the slopes.

In most categories a great place (good value). The reason why it is a moderate rating overall is moderate-to-poor quality of breakfast (traditional American processed foods and poor bread quality) and the ambience during breakfast (FOX TV NEWS blasted from a large screen delivering its sensation-based and often untrue coverage). A more neutral TV station should be used. I asked a staff member to turn it off, and the manager refused (without having the courage to tell me face-to-face that he/she did not want to turn it off).

Good location, clean warm rooms, friendly staff
Excellent location, friendly staff and clean warm rooms. Breakfast is fine and there is sufficient parking. You see the odd bear from time to time. I'm guessing a bear pushed over the trash in the parking lot with the snow covering its tracks ......

This is NOT holiday Inn
It did not meet my expectation on a Holiday Inn though the overall experience was not too bad.
It started with an impatient phone call when I confirm my arrival time. Some of them are unwilling to explain anything even for a second time. But some agents are really nice.
Compared to those hotels below $100, the room is definitely cleaner. However it is still a bit old. The air conditioner begin to make a very loud noise like electric drill 5am in the morning.
The hair dryer has a smell of burned rust. And the room’s car key is very easy to degauss.
If on the same budget for my next trip, I’ll probably NOT choose it again.

Property site was good, walkable to shopping n restaurants. The only bad thing was the TV reception can’t watch a good sports show
