Beautiful property with great amenities. Unfortunately the heating unit is very loud and kicked in multiple times throughout the night to hold the room temp resulting in a very broken sleep for us. Disappointing as it looks like they spent lots of money on everything else but noisy heating units is totally avoidable.

Such a gorgeous and clean hotel with an amazing rooftop hot tub/fire pit sitting area. Loved the pour over coffee and tea provided each day - made the mornings feel special! The restaurant onsite was also fabulous and the parking was so easy, well-lit and clean. Would 100% stay here again. We visited during shoulder season as a couple (left the kids at home) with a few other couples in a group for a mini getaway and really enjoyed it. It’s a bit of a walk from the town centre but we all felt the 20 min walk was needed after all the awesome food and drinks we had in town. Our last day there, we woke up early, had our pour over coffee, and then walked over to the rooftop pools in our robes for a warm soak in the cold November air - it was a highlight of our trip. Just one small thing… we wished there was better light blocking around the hotel room door. The hallway lights are on all the time and are very bright, and, at least for our room and all those in our group, had the door entrance right next to the bed so if you sleep on your side, the bright light from the door is shining right at you. But it still wouldn’t stop us from staying again - that’s what sleep masks are for! These rooms also had the biggest bathroom I have ever seen for a standard hotel room, And it was gorgeous! Also love the Rocky Mountain soap company bath products provided!!! See you next time!
