Great stay
Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023

Property is run down and “managed” by Trickle Creek Lodge next door. I acknowledge it was off season but the Polaris Lodge was not looked after. Staff next door at Trickle Creek seemed indifferent to looking after Polaris guests. Would NOT recommend.

It was a lovely suite, great surroundings, friendly staff. We didn’t have a car with us so it was a little out of the way. Nice time of year to visit.

Always enjoy our stays in Kimberley. The reservation was lost for some reason, but they made it all right. So all good.

The staff were awesome, the room was just ok, it really needs to be updated for the rate with a few more amenities

8/10

Checking in was a little confusing - check-in is at a different location than the building where the room is.

The room was great, and the staff member that checked us in and out was very helpful and thorough. The only negative was the elevator being out of order when we arrived, but it was working again by the next morning. It’s a short building anyhow, so an elevator isn’t the end of the world. We’d definitely stay again.

This is the second time we’ve stayed at Polaris, and we will have no hesitation booking again! We love staying at the ski hill, especially for events and the rooms are always clean and comfortable! I would give staff and service a five star - but it seems whenever I call (in business hours) I don’t actually get to speak to anyone, but leaving a voice mail they do get back to you!

Upon arrival they had no record of our reservation. The hotel clerk made us wait while she checked in other clients, even though we were first. Tried to double charge us.

We stayed during the summer so there was NO ONE there. Given that we were the only guests we wonder why we were given a room that had the AC/heater mechanism next to the room. No Kleenex. 1 hanger in closet. Only 2 drawers for clothes. The down comforter was too hot; without it, too cool. Probably fine for skiers but don't bring much. No equipment allowed in the room.

Like: - Nice location Dislike: - Underground parking card reader very difficult to use, took 3 replacement cards plus maintenance man to get access. - Condo a bit tired, loose taps in kitchen, shower head flow very poor, wifi very unreliable and down half the time.

We had a good stay at Polaris Lodge and had easy access to the ski slopes. Limited for food options on the day we stayed but we made it work. Breakfast was the biggest concern as breakfast options were not available until 8:30 AM.
