One of the worst stays ever…read more The only thing that is accurate on their website is the view. We arrived on July 1 and there is no one at reception. We had to pick up our key at the lockbox that is located outside the office. The room #305 had a very strong musty smell to it like it hadn't been aired out in ages. The room was substantially smaller than a regular hotel room that we had the previous evening. There is no phone in the room There is no area in which you could comfortably hook up a computer. We ended up moving things around and hooking up the computer on the very small desk where the coffee maker was. There is no ice. We were given instructions to use the freezer on the second level but the freezer was open and completely empty. No complimentary golf. We wouldn't know where to go anyway since there were no staff available. The bed is so close to the wall - maybe about 1 ft. from the bed to the wall so that when I needed to go to the washroom at night I had to crawl to the end of the bed in order to get out of bed. We expected that many of the item and services would not be available because of covid - no spa, no breakfast buffet etc. but we did not expect to have a rundown room that obviously needs attention and renovations. We paid the less to stay at another resort during our staycation and we had a beautiful 1 bedroom suite with a separate bedroom, tvs in both the living room and bedroom, a kitchenette and washer and dryer. We could get ice from the refrigerator that was in the room. They also had a lobby area that was staffed and friendly service from said staff. We had a mountain view. I absolutely would not recommend this resort and I certainly would never stay here again myself.

We'll definitely stay here again the next time we're riding in the area. Fantastic!

Sometimes it's hard to see people in the caves and I actually thought this guy was a statue. The main pool feels like Luke warm water and the cold plunge is only big enough for maybe 4 people at a time. The caves are really the most desirable place to be if you like it hot. This place was overall much smaller than I expected though. We soaked for over and hour or so and then got ready for our dinner reservations and dinner was really great! It was about $150 for four of us to eat up there in USD. We grabbed some ice cream bars from downstairs as well for dessert. I liked this place and one night was enough. We arrived around 4:30pm, had dinner at 7pm and were in bed by 9pm. The next morning was a soak and then get ready and go. Great trip and lovely customer service.

This course is way over priced, I've played way nicer courses in many other towns & countries and not payed that exorbitant price, they should be ashamed of themselves! Apparently it's under new ownership, just looking for a fast buck and to heck with the locals, who do you think will support you when times are tough..........?...... We played on a Sunday in June, beautiful sunny day, which is out of the ordinary for Crawford Bay, it rains a lot there. Due to the extremely high price, the place was all but empty except for the 4 groups that I was apart of. We're all located not too far from Crawford Bay and asked if they had a reciprocal rate with other local courses, they said no and that no they longer have any members and therefore no reciprocal, in other words they're counting on tourist money, we'll good luck with that! The course wasn't in great shape, terrible weeds growing in the fairways and the 17th tee box for instance was disgusting, there was hardly any grass on it. I don't understand how they can justify the prices, yes, its beautiful scenery but that only goes so far. They used to have decent rates and if you were local you could get a bit better rate so you didn't mind playing a few times a year, now, with that attitude I don't care if I ever play that course again! As I said earlier we had 4 groups, we usually have 6 groups, it's been an annual golf outing for the last 25 years so way to go Kokanee Springs (Pinnacle Resorts) you successfully pissed off 16 people and potentially 24 for next year, sadly we won't be back!

It is quiet and tranquil with a gorgeous view of Kootenay Lake. There is a BBQ which can be used by guests in the outdoor common dining area on the upper level. There is a small play area with swings and a tree house. Adirondack chairs are scattered around, mostly towards the direction of the lake. The suites are mostly 1 and 2 bedrooms and they are spacious, with a living room (sofa bed) and small kitchen. The rooms are clean and each one have a different look. It is definitely not a cookie cutter,nondescript room. It is family run and the owners are friendly and ready with suggestions on dining places and activities. It is just 10-15 minutes drive away from downtown Nelson, so it is quite convenient to get around. It is also near Ainsworth Hot Springs and Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park. I will stay here again if I am ever in Nelson.

The attached restaurant Port701 just reopened in June 2020 with a new chef and servers. We used our coupons the times we were there. Breakfast was wonderful, Dinners fantastic. Really enjoyed our meals and service while we stayed at the hotel. Plenty of parking with a required pass when you check in. Everything is walking distance, uphill both ways. We had exercise whether we like it or not with all the walking we did. We enjoyed our stay that when we return on our next vacation we will definitely stay here again.

All the rooms on the lake view side have balconies or patios with lounge chairs and tables. The rooms are nicely appointed with comfy beds, modernized washrooms and they are sound insulated. Case in point: the room across the hall was blaring Brooks and Dunn, and while it could be heard in the hall, it was undetectable in our room. The on-site restaurant was delicious for breakfast and if you waive housekeeping during your stay, you get a $10 credit for the restaurant. We also tried the coffee shop, and that's a nice stop before walking to the business district or catching the trolley that stops nearby. Finally I also visited the on-site spa. While it's a small spa, my massage and mini facial were really relaxing and enjoyable.

We arrived very early about 1:30 in the afternoon but they were able to give us a room right away. The room is very nice and a good size. We appreciate that it had not been occupied for the last 48 hours. There is a very good sitting area Because of covid none of the services are available - fitness centre, pool or spa and there is no housekeeping service. The bed is very comfortable and good lighting on both sides of the bed is great. The bathroom also has good lighting. We find the soundproofing is not very good as we could hear a large group socializing near our room until 11:00 last night and this morning we could also hear a fair bit of noise early in the morning. We are in unit #103 and I would not recommend this unit if you're a light sleeper. We are very close to the ice machine and every time someone uses the machine it makes a horrendous racket. The hotel is also supposed to be air conditioned but I think they must have turned off the air conditioning at the front desk. We turned on the air conditioner last night and all the lights are on but the unit does not operate. This is the end of June. We are on the ground floor and opening the windows is not a good option. I would stay at Prestige again but I would be sure to ask if the air conditioning has been turned on and I would ask for a unit away from the ice machine.

No breakfast, but 2 Tim Horton's are not far. We enjoyed the workout room. They had a surprising array of equipment, all in good condition, and great music playing to work out by. Only things keeping it from five stars: they need to use hollow wall mounts on the towel holders and toilet paper holder to fasten them more securely to the wall; the door to our room had a strip along the bottom that was flapping off, and the chemical/cleaner smell in the room was almost overpowering when we first walked in (fortunately, that meant it had been cleaned). We opened the window and turned on the fan to air it out, and it was okay. All in all, a decent stay.

Overall the hill was nice but I think there are things that won't make me want to come back here anytime soon. First is I don't love that the majority of the blue and green runs are off a single chair, granted I understand that they are limited with what they have but I find for the beginner level people it is difficult to really move off the main quad chair which does move fast but is a bit of a wait. As well due to the main run being the nicest and easiest there are many many kids on it which does make the run more difficult as you try to avoid them and since you have to pass over the road it funnels people quite a lot. Second is I found the black runs were not only packed with moguls which is fine but they were very icy, and there was a lack of powder. The blacks also feel a bit unkept as they didn't seem very well groomed and not much snow to cushion. I do have to say I only went here for one day of skiing and hit about 10 different runs in the day. I did enjoy the ski out and the lines were not super long which made the day much more enjoyable!
