5 things to know before you go
💡The 'virtual check-in' means if you don't get the email, you're stuck calling a support number.
💡The double beds in some multi-room suites are on the smaller side for two adults.
💡There is no elevator in some buildings; you might be hauling ski gear up stairs.
💡The hot tubs can get crowded with 'apres-ski' groups in the late afternoon.
💡You are technically outside the main downtown core, so it's a bit of a walk (20+ mins) to the main bars in winter.
