After reading the most recent reviews of One Ski Hill Place, I was a little nervous. We stayed 6 days in a 3 bedroom/3 bath condo overlooking the mountain. The view is fantastic. From our room I can see in three directions the entire base of the mountain with all the chair lifts. Third, fourth and fifth floors rooms ending in 01,03,05,07,13, and 15 all have a mountain view. The ski valets knew our name by the end of the first day and were very friendly and helpful. The ski instructors at the ski schools were excellent and very competent. The rooms were clean, the beds were incredibly comfortable with enough towels, sheets, and kitchenware for the fully-functioning kitchen. The rooms were well-dusted and showers very clean. The breakfast buffet which comes with the room was very good and well-stocked. We were expecting shortages because we came during our kids' spring break but everything was plentiful. We didn't need reservations to eat at the hotel restaurant for lunch and they made every effort to get our food to us quickly so we could get to our kids' lessons on time. We had a lot of questions for the front desk staff about getting groceries delivered, extra key cards for our kids for the room, and some repairs and they always answered and were very helpful. All the staff we met were kind and sincerely tried to help answer questions or concerns.
There were a few things we were a little disappointed about (thus the 4 stars instead of 5). We had to wait for our room to be cleaned before we could check in at 4pm. Not sure what time the check-in was suppose to be but my husband was a little annoyed. The staff did apologize and explain that they were very short staffed. It was fine, really. The squishy sofas in their cozy lounge with large fires roaring everywhere provided a nice place to sit and wait. Also, two of the drawers in the master bedroom were broken and could not be used. It wasn't a big deal. There were plenty of hangers so instead I hung my clothes up in the closet and my husband used the usable top drawers. Also, our ice maker was broken in our fridge. A repairman came within 2 hours to try to repair it but it couldn't be repaired. Instead the front desk brought up ice to our room when we needed it. The manager apologized for the fact that they were short-staffed and experiencing shortages of certain things. There were signs saying to expect shortages of pool towels (although there were always plenty when we went down there), as well as shortages of other things. We saw the signs but never the shortages. All public areas were clean and well-maintained.
I really can't account for the recent negative reviews. We have stayed at luxury resorts for the kids' spring breaks and some winter breaks for the past 8 years. This condo was very comfortable and clean with kind, excellent service people. And the location at the base of the mountain is unbeatable. I'd come back again in a heartbeat.
