We've stayed here 3 times since the start of ski season and loved it everytime.
As Globalist, resort fee is waived of course, and the last 2 visits they offered free valet parking as well. We've always had breakfast taken off, options are grab and go, or now the served-buffet at Cascades. Never once did they question the $ spent for breakfast. We would always get a personal note along with a snack basket, a bottle of wine and something special for the kids waiting for us in the room.

We also love how this resort is right next the the ski lift with a sledding hill and ice rink. Enough to keep the kids busy. The outdoor ski bar is great place to hang out in between or after being on the slopes.

All 3 visits we received an upgrage to a suite from a standard room. They have smaller fireplace suites and larger deluxe suites. The smaller fireplace suites are still true 1 bedroom suites and can be booked as a premium room for 33k. The deluxe suite are the standard suites at 40k. All suites have a small kitchen which comes in handy. Standard rooms here do look very small for 25k. They also have some bi-level suites which we havent stayed in yet. Paid nights are pretty reasonable outside holiday weekends. Suites are typically only $100 more than the standard rooms.

The pools and water slides look fun for the summer.

We've also stayed at the regency many times and the only thing the regency has over squaw creek is the beach.
