c o m p l i m e n t a r y b u s p a s s difficult access no change rooms
the bus pass was complimentary so that was acceptable
the fitness center access felt deliberately difficult i needed to sign a waiver at the waterpark each time i wanted to use it also there were no change rooms available unless the waterpark was open it was below zero outside and i needed to walk from a chalet to change in a washroom at the lodge

Cozy Cabin Stay

cozy cabin good storage p r o b l e m a t i c p a r k i n g
The cabin was cozy and warm. Plenty of space exists, with good storage. Daily service proved consistent.
The room was a little dark however. I had to drive to the center because of its location. Parking in the town proved problematic.
