Rocky Mountain Ski Lodge

8/10 Good

"Great location, dated property but has all the things you need in the room, restaurants, supermarkets, and Everwild Spa are less than five minute drive. Make sure to book early for better rates. Book the one bedroom loft if your party is 6+, there’s a lot of space and room comes with a full kitchen, microwave, full-sized fridge, as well as a fireplace and little outdoor area overlooking the mountain. Definitely a good option if you can book early."

Moose Hotel And Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Moose Hotel was amazing, from it’s lovely building to the cozy rooms. Spacious, clean, and with a great balcony that allows you to connect with nature. The staff was courteous and proactive. The hot tubs were such a treat! Everything is walking distance from there, so you don’t need to worry about driving and parking. I am definitely going to visit again!"

Brewster Mountain Lodge

8/10 Good

"Brewster's is central and staff are super friendly and helpful. Great place to stay. We got an upgrade but needed a cut lunch and 6 pack to get to room. Lol Room was warm, comfortable and added bonus, a balcony. So close to town central, buses and can walk to public transport easily. Breakfast was included and filled the void nicely however it is in an odd spot. Staff explained how to get there. Would I stay there again. Yes."

Otter Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional hotel, best of our trip! The newly designed Otter Hotel more than met my expectations! - Large and spotless room and bathroom (very hard working housekeeping team) with EPIC mountain view - pay the extra and book early / stay a bit longer to take advantage of their longer stay offers/ worth it! - Free Transit passes great - In room coffee making or tea provided (personalised) a nice touch with REAL milk or oat milk in tiny bottles. - gorgeous Rocky Mountain locally sourced bathroom products - rooftop hot pools and fire pits wonderful."
