Just completed a 5 night stay here. Overall, was very satisfied, and would go back. Used 160,000 points for 5 nights and paid $100 upgrade fee for night to a Cottage room with Jacuzzi on porch. Glad I paid the upgrade because hotel was sold out and would have missed out on upgrade had I not paid it.
Pros:
- Free breakfast! I am a Gold member and was told at check-in that breakfast is complimentary for 2 adults. Breakfast had around 3-4 hot dishes, with the ability to order pancakes, and any kind of omelets or eggs from the server. Cost would have been $25 per person so was a great way to fill up being hitting the slopes
- Room is spacious and large. We went with another couple so had 4 adults in a Cottage Executive Room, however, it didn't feel too crowded, and they slept on the pull out couch
- Small fridge, with plates and silverware and ability to cook on 2 stove tops
- Wife loved the shampoo, conditioner, and body gel amenities
- Jacuzzi was nice and hot, although it was square, as opposed to circular, which is what is listed on the website. Although website says it fits 6, no way this would do so, it would fit 4 comfortably, but really better for 2 or 3
- The main pool is surprisingly warm (as compared to the pool at our last ski vacation - Hilton Whistler) and the hot tub is very large. Never saw anyone in it while we were there
Cons:
- $20 resort fee per night and not waived for Gold members. To be honest not even sure what that covers as I was in and out for check-in. I know the shuttle is included, which goes to Deer Valley Ski Resort, but I imagine it covers the typical other items that are never used (i.e. Business Center, newspapers, etc...)
- Didn't particularly like the bed, as this could be a personal preference, but never once sleep through the night. Also, the other couple we were with ended up putting the mattress from the pull out couch on the floor, and just sleeping on top of it, on the floor. They said while sleeping on it our 1st night, there was a bar in the middle of the couch that seemed uncomfortable
