The room had two queen beds and a bathroom. I noticed a sunshine village shuttle stop was nearby. The location was close to town conveniences. The staff seemed helpful.
The air conditioner was loud. I could not adjust it to low. I had to turn it off to sleep. The receptionist seemed disinterested in us when we checked in.

awesome experience!
cozy cabinfriendly staffgreat locationpoor sound insulation
i was super impressed with the room updates and the cozy cabin vibe! it felt very clean plus the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. the location is excellent and i felt the price matched the value perfectly, especially considering i used the room mainly for sleeping after hitting the slopes.
Sound insulation was a problem. I could clearly hear noise from the stairs and people walking by. it got pretty disturbing late at night, as if there wasn't really a wall there! i wish it was fixed.
