The hotel is perfectly situated at the base of the mountain road, offering unbeatable access to outdoor activities and local attractions. The rooms may have a slight moldy odor and were overly warm on one night, but they are equipped with standard bathrooms. The service is exceptional, with staff going the extra mile to ensure a seamless stay. The location couldn't be better, with easy access to the Old Coach Road track and mountain facilities nearby. The dining surprises with a continental self-serve breakfast and a la carte options, though not ideal for children. Overall, a fantastic stay with minor room issues.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with double washbasins and shower over bath, complimentary toiletries, and tea/coffee facilities. The spa bath was a nice touch, and the room was really well heated during my stay. However, the lack of family-friendly amenities like cots in the condos was a downside for the price.

I loved that I could conveniently hire ski gear from the lodge, and the proximity to restaurants onsite was a bonus. The hotel's location directly across from the river and close to good short walks added to the overall experience.

Dining

The food was excellent, especially the tender steak cooked perfectly to my liking. Having dining options under the same roof and included in the stay made it a great deal.
