Told us that we could check in early. Arrived and we weren’t able to check in early. Then we checked into the smallest room that the heat wasn’t working so was so warm. In the morning 2 staff walked into our rooms without knocking 2 different times. Very very unimpressed with the service and the experience. Will never stay again.

For the most part everything was great. The one downside was that there were children’s hockey teams staying there and they were allowed to run wild and scream non stop in the lobby and hallways. Not necessarily the hotel’s fault (more like the parents) but it would have been nice if they had a room to go to in order to have their pizza party instead of taking over the lobby/entrance to the restaurant.

We booked this hotel for a family Christmas and New Year ski vacation. We booked the Hotel and flights (from the UK) together on Expedia and was happy with the package and price. Our room was on the 3rd floor overlooking the front of the hotel. There was no issue with road or other noise, either from inside or outside of the hotel. The balcony was nice, and the view out onto the portico and front of the hotel, decorated for the holidays was lovely. Nicely done Caribou team! Some of the reviews list the rooms as "tired" and I guess the carpets are showing a bit of age and the TV stand is certainly a bit "retro". But apart from that the room was warm, beds comfortable and always clean and niceely serviced. The hotel is about a 10-mimute walk from the main shopping area and all the hotels on the main drag have resturants attached, so there is lots of choice. Carobou has a "Keg" steakhouse, which offers really good quality food (if a little pricey) if you are on a budget). One minor point: You can't sit in the inviting hotel lounge with a drink from the Keg bar because of a licensing issue. For me, that's a bit of an obvios "miss" that needs addressing. For Winter Sports, this hotel is an excellent choice. There is carparking under the hotel, and lockers for skis/boards, etc (the hotel will provide a padlock). The ski bus to/from Sunshine and Like Louise stops right outside hotel - so absolutely ideal. All staff super!

We loved everything about the caribou lodge. We especially loved the fact that we didn’t have to leave the hotel for dinner. Having the keg right down stairs was amazing.
