Overall we enjoyed our stay. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was great. Only minor gripe was we had a suite (it was awesome to have the extra space btw) and all the suites are located at the front - street side - of the building, whereas the smaller rooms face the back and have the mountain views.

Worth the money.

Solid hotel value. Breakfast is nice, rooms are well kept, pool area can get a bit loud but not the Hotel’s fault but zany kids with zoned out guardians.

This property was a true delight and staff amazing!! While I often stay at 5 star hotels around the world, I had low expectations that were crushed immediately upon arrival. They (Logan) met my needs for a quiet, top floor, far from the elevators room that ended up being at the end of the hall with an amazing view of the mountains, creek below, and occasional wildlife. The lobby is welcoming in itself with a warm fire and warm drinks available all-day. The hot tub is a bonus, perfect for after ski relief. Finally, there is a wonderful "ski room" for tuning/waxing; an added bonus. I will be back!!! Well done team.

Love this hotel and the staff. We come back every year to ski Schweitzer Mt and we always stay here. Great breakfast, beds, hot tub/pool and staff are always wonderful. With Sweet Lou's restaraunt in the parking lot this place is a slam dunk!
