Snow King rundown

My wife and I stayed there from 8/14-8/20. As I mentioned before, our room was clean with a small balcony looking out the back. There is construction going on so the view was mostly the staging area for equipment in the foreground, but the distant mountain were nice.

Considering the rate, the rooms were nothing special. Lighting in the rooms is fairly poor so at night the rooms are pretty dim. But you don't go to Jackson Hole to stay in your room. The hallways and public areas truly need upgrading. The carpets are all wrinkled and wavy. The cinder block hallways feel like a college dorm. The elevators need fixing as my wife was trapped in one for about 5 minutes one day (she took the stairs the rest of our visit).

I was there for a conference and had a number of meals at the venue. I never get too excited about buffet meals, but they did a fairly good job. The final night was a game dinner that included buffalo and elk. The elk was really good.

The pool area is fine, nothing spectacular and the location of Snow King is great for not having a car. The main downtown area is less than a mile walk. I highly recommend The Bunnery restaurant for breakfast - it is right downtown.

The room tv has a remote that you can only scroll up and down the channels. So you can go to channel 5, for example, unless you scroll there.

We also did the alpine slide and mini golf one day. Nothing spectacular and a little pricey in my opinion.

I think our rate was $205 per night. Considering the quality of the venue, I thought that was high.
