Snowcrest - $$ in the bank
Review Submitted: March 6, 2012
Date of Stay: February 2012
I'm admittedly a tough critic and I honestly wanted to give the unit and the experience 5 stars, but everyone can use a little constructive criticism so 4 stars it is; in general, the pros FAR outweigh what cons we found at Snowcrest. We would absolutely stay here again. Didn't hurt that we got dumped on, skiing was quacktastic!!
The Pros - the place was white-glove tested clean. It smelled fresh, it was organized in terms of linens folded, nothing left behind by past visitors in drawers in any of the rooms, the kitchen was whistle-clean, all needed kitchen items are avail to you (drink glasses, utensils, cutlery, cook stuff, ect) - and they were all washed and ready for usage upon our arrival. The setup of the place is very efficient and makes sense. The TV has an arm so while in the kitchen prepping breakfast I could watch news. The couch was comfortable and the wood-burning fireplace is a nice plus (even though the fire we got going was pretty puny, totes our issue). The balcony doesn't serve much purpose because it basically overlooks Empire St and is small but you do get a sneak peek at the mountains which is nice. There was Kleenex everywhere (my GF loved that) and the place just gives off a comfortable, warm vibe. The hot tub is quality and deep, in the middle goes up to my chest (I'm almost 6 foot), and all folks we met while there were super-friendly which added to our vacation experience. The location of the place is stellar - its extremely close to the parking lot and lifts of PCMR, you don't need a car, but we had one anyway - I will say this, Main St. is probably more a short bus ride than a walk, especially after a long day of skiing, its slightly uphill from the place, and after skiing normally we were cashed out so we drove into town. Patti and Kitty are a plus too - very friendly and helpful, type of people you want to rent from.
The Cons - this is picky, but honest. The bed was a bit "soft" - my GF prefers a firmer mattress, though, it didn't really bother me much. The shower head provides good pressure, but is set at a low height and ran out of warm water after my GF took a 20 minute shower or so, so I had to wait around 15 mins to use the shower one night before heading out on Main St. Again, this is being picky - but as you can see, the plusses far outnumber what cons we thought up.
Overall - the place is $$$ in the bank. Thanks 2 P&K!!! We'll be back FO SHO!
