Kootenay Rockies Vacation Rentals

"The non smoking room was smoky."

"The pool area is nice and with 4 pools at least one pool should be off limits to children. We also had a snafu with the bedding (stained comforter) but once we told the staff it was immediately replaced. "

"Laundry room available."

"This was our first visit to ELL for a couple evenings. The room was ok… but I think there is a significant difference from revitalized rooms versus the “lodge” tier. The bathroom was cramped, low light and a bit damp. Cocktails at the bar were a little on the weak end. The burger was quite good, the pasta was terrible. Morning options of baked goods weren’t memorable, but the in room tea and nespresso coffee were appreciated. There are limited xc trails in the area if you are skiing and the lake trail as well as alluvial fan become destroyed from walkers on the tracks. Stick to the connector trail for pure skiing rather than skier setting. The hot tub was great as well as the sauna (be sure to turn it on as soon as you enter, it’s slow to warm up). Showers in the clubhouse building were hit or miss on hot water. Up and downstairs of the main lodge are great places to hang out. Check out the games cabinet upstairs (please add a couple packs of playing cards ELL staff) as well as some toys for little ones. I would return again and bring better local choices for beverages to enjoy while there, as well as some charcuterie, fruit and cheeses to enjoy in room. We ordered one to have in our room on arrival but it was underwhelming for the price paid. Other than food offerings, I think ELL is a great place to unwind and make a memory or two."

"Price and location was convenient but next time will ask for a room on the outside as that was quieter last time!"

"My kids could spend a million hours on this water slide and they’d still be asking for more "

"Very friendly staff. Very comfortable room. Good restaurant next door that you can walk to from the inside of hotel. Very convenient to other locations like skiing. "

"Easy access to the surrounding area"

"Stay somewhere else. The bathrooms haven't been updated since the 1970's, truly a disgrace. One night there was a fire alarm outside our room, staff was absolutely pathetic. Nobody came to check that guests had evacuated. Staff weren't easily identifiable. Absolute chaos and confusion. Next day when we talked to manager she just brushed it all off. Best yet, they have no fire equipment whatsoever in the rooms. This is a potential fire trap if someone is a heavy sleeper. The hot pool access is nice, but you have to pay that on top of the hotel room charges (they call it a resort fee). The pools are old and dated as well, with some significant cracks. We will not return."
