Disliked: Cleanliness
I had a great ski weekend with stunning views and a welcoming, professional front desk staff. However, the cleanliness of the room was disappointing. Since they only clean rooms after check-out, we arrived to find crumbs on the desk and floor, a yellow stain on the sheet, and a brown stain on the carpet. The entryway flooring even stained my white socks brown, prompting us to scrub it ourselves with Clorox and room towels. It seems like staffing may be an issue, but attention to detail in room cleaning is definitely needed. Despite this, the staff was accommodating and friendly, and the location made for a fantastic ski experience.

not handicap friendly
The lodge was nice , the staff was very helpful and friendly. My problem is mostly about the booking agent I did it on line and specifically explained that we needed a handicap room as we use a walker and need grab bars in the bathroom. The stool was very low so I had to help her to get up of the stool. The room they had us in at first was on the 2nd floor so the ladies had to shuffle the rooms around as the rooms were all booked so it took about 45 min. to get it done as they had to move 8 rooms

So many issues before we even arrived. Awful front desk experiences. Terrible communication. Moguls restaurant was a mess and the food less than subpar. Zero attention to our concerns. The location was beautiful, the amenities outside were great. The price for what we experienced as guests, did NOT even come close to our expectations. I do plan on reaching out via email, but at this point- would not recommend.

Staff was great, the amenities & grounds were nice, and the restaurant onsite was good. My only complaint was we had sketchy plumbing in our room. The toilet didn’t flush well (even after I let the front desk know), and the water pressure was low in the shower. That was unfortunate and uncomfortable . The lodge is in a convenient location for sure but they should get the plumbing situated.
