The room had a well-equipped mini kitchen that was practical. There was no air conditioning, but a ceiling fan helped with the heat.. It was pretty quiet at night.
The room lacked a chair to sit on.

Comfortable stay near the slopes

great viewfriendly staffcomfortable bed
the location is near kicking horse ski resort a great view was visible from my balcony the staff members were friendly and helpful i had easy access to nearby areas. the two bedroom suite suited my family well. the beds provided good comfort and the shower was excellent. access to a kitchen was a must and very convenient.
i found only limited food options directly at the lodge, requiring a trip to town for groceries or meals.
Dining

the limited restaurant hours and reduced options on-site meant a trip into town was often needed for more variety. prepared frozen meals are available for purchase and can be heated in the microwave.
Location

the hotel is situated away from the main town which provides a quiet environment. it is close to the kicking horse ski resort and offers natural surroundings. the hotel is about fifteen minutes by car from town.

Excellent Kitchen and Great Mountain Views

My room had a full kitchen. It included all the necessary appliances. a dedicated ski locker area features efficient boot dryers. i found nice counter space available in the bathroom. the building location provides beautiful views of the mountains.
the gym equipment is fine, though a few additional free weights would be beneficial.

Adequate but Underwhelming Stay

warm roomlimited food
The room was quite warm. Staff provided a ceiling fan, but it did little to alleviate the summer heat. Sleeping comfortably became quite difficult. The limited food options were also a problem, especially given the location a drive away from other establishments. I think that access to more on-site dining would greatly improve the guest experience.
