"When I made the reservation it was for a hotel NOT a cabin, that was far away from the amenities; pool, lake view, hot tub. My husband has difficulty walking and a cabin we were in was too far away to enjoy the amenities. I would not recommend both hotels.com or the hotel itself."

"Overall pretty dirty. They don't clean the rooms well enough. But if you're there to just stay to go skiing or whatever and you don't mind it's no big deal. The TV screen had all kinds of grease on it or something. Definitely needs better cleaning but once they figure that out it's okay"
