“Good hotel for the price right in the village”

This is a good hotel for the price right in the village. Yes the rooms are dated but you are paying way less than other hotels or AirBNB. I love people who complain about getting a murphy bed when it shows the room on the website??? Ski hill accommodation's are very expensive that's just the way it… more

This is a good hotel for the price right in the village. Yes the rooms are dated but you are paying way less than other hotels or AirBNB. I love people who complain about getting a murphy bed when it shows the room on the website??? Ski hill accommodation's are very expensive that's just the way it is but this hotel is reasonable the rooms are clean they have hot tubs that were nice and you are literally right in the village and right at the lifts. Who can ask for anything more.

“We have stayed here before and we'll stay here again”

We stayed at the Cahilty late January 2023. I had written another review in 2009 when my husband and I first stayed there but I thought the return trip warranted another review.

We stayed at the Cahilty late January 2023. I had written another review in 2009 when my husband and I first stayed there but I thought the return trip warranted another review. Pros: Location, location, location!! There really are few other hotels at Sun Peaks that have the proximity to the village and TRUE ski in and out abilities. Places that advertise ski in and ski out that mean 100 yards of shuffling along on flat ground to reach a lift are not ski in and out in my opinion. At the Cahilty you grab your skis from the ski storage area, up a flight of stairs and you are on an actual ski run. Quick slide down to one of two chairs or the surface lift and good to go! Same at the end of the day…link up to Rambler and you are back where you started. Wide range of room types. We had a family suite which was a hotel room (2 beds and a bathroom) which adjoins with a studio unit. Living, kitchen and full bath. It was super, all appliances worked, had all plates/cutlery etc…you would need. I would suggest 2 frying pans for each unit though. Making say a breakfast of sausage and pancakes is tough with just one frying pan, and 2 would make those with food allergies probably a little more comfortable too. Beds and pillows were comfortable and welcome rest spot after a day on the slopes. Friendly staff. Everyone we encountered was helpful and accommodating. Some might say it lacked the personal touches that were evident before being bought by Bear Country, but still lovely folks that work there. Any requests were answered promptly and in general staff was friendly. Apres at the Cahilty restaurant. Food was great and price was also great. Go early or reserve yourself a spot ahead of time as its only from 3-5pm. Our server was brand new and we still had excellent service, food was hot, beer was cold and everything was tasty and reasonably priced. Cons: Not many, some say the hotel is a bit tired and outdated and to those people I would say are you there for how the hotel looks or the outdoor activities? Water pressure is not super and hot water depended on time of day, we assumed if you could take your shower when not a lot of other people were doing so your chances of really hot water were better Our rooms were right near the administrative offices on the ground floor which was for the most part totally cool. However, it might be good to remind staff going in and out of these offices particularly in the early morning hours to be mindful of the doors and how they’re opening and closing them. There are people across and down the hall sleeping and those doors opening and closing even if infrequently are LOUD! This was our daughter’s first trip to a big mountain and she loved it. She enjoyed the Cahilty, our room and the location. She liked seeing the many awards and accolades of Nancy Greene-Raine and we even saw her a couple times around the resort. Good Canadian skiing history there for sure. We enjoyed the Cahilty for our recent stay and also 14 years ago. We would not hesitate to book a room here again should our ski journey take us to Sun Peaks once more!

“Pissed parents and kids out of control”

If you want to stay where kids are constantly running through the halls yelling and their parents doing nothing then this is your place to stay. Nobody expects kids to be silent and I dont blame them; I blame their parents who seem to all have a skin full of booze and simply dont care what their kids get up to as long as they let them go on with their drinking. I have stayed in more hotels and apartments than I care to remember and this is the only time I have ever experienced this level of total disarray. Aside from that, the hotel is nice, room is fine, and location is good; but not worth putting up with the culture of parents staying here.
