This was a great home base for our snowboarding weekend at Palisades / Alpine Meadows - just a 12-minute drive from the Palisades village parking lot (with no traffic - but you should expect traffic during peak commute hours). Friendly staff, very well-stocked continental breakfast and clean/comfy rooms. Although there are areas of the property that show it's age, it was reasonably well kept and very clean. We'll be back!

Me and my wife we stayed over the presidents day long weekend, everything was great except its so expensive, 400 bucks a night. Got to avoid long weekends. Not really value for money.

The hot tub was not functional during our entire visit. We specifically selected this property because it had a hot tub. The property was not as advertised. We were very disappointed.
