The Good
There were very few recent reviews available at the time this analysis was conducted. However, among those limited reviews, a few guests thought that this property offered good value for the money they spent and a couple of reviewers found their suites to be spacious. One guest found the ski-in/ski-out access ideal and said that "the ticket office and main lift is just outside the door".

Guests may also want to note that this property provides free parking and free Wi-Fi.

The Bad
As mentioned above, there was a limited number of reviews available at the time this editorial was written. Among those few reviews, there were no common concerns or complaints expressed by guests. However, guests considering this property should note that amenities, such as breakfast service and a common hot tub, are not located on site, but at a neighbouring hotel. 
TripAdvisor.ca ranked this hotel #2 out of 2 properties in Kimberley, with an average score of 4 out of 5, from 5 reviews.
