The view of the snow capped mountains was stunning. Kitchen in the unit was great. Although the WiFi is free it is only 5GHz. Thus people with the usual 2.4 GHz WiFi were not able to connect. Parking near the unit was disorganised (no marked bays).

Room is spacious and the bathroom is very nice with heated floor and towel rack. However, the timer for the heated floor made very loud clicking sounds throughout the night. Otherwise it is a cozy little spot.

We were unable to stay at the property because the rooms had not been cleaned by housekeeping in readiness for our booked arrival. We had to find accommodation elsewhere.

We had 2 nights at The Terrace. The location is good and parking easy. We were allocated an access room ( don’t know why) but it was ideal for our needs. The WI-FI is non existent at this location so being unlimited means nothing.
