8/10 Very good

Everything was good overall. Great location, gorgeous view, comfortable, nice new bathrooms, except Fire place was not working. Walls were thin, windows wouldn’t all close, floors creaked every step. Just didn’t seem well made structurally. Safe but old.

The location was perfect,close to the slopes, beautiful mountain views, and peaceful surroundings. Everything was clean, comfortable, and exactly what I was hoping for on a mountain getaway. One thing I really appreciated was the fan in the room. It might seem like a small detail, but it made a big difference for sleeping comfortably at night. Between the fan, comfortable bed, and quiet atmosphere, I slept extremely well. The amenities were also a nice bonus. Everything I needed was available, and it felt well thought out for guests. The space felt cozy but still roomy enough to relax after a long day exploring or skiing. Overall, I was very happy with my stay and would definitely return when I'm back in the Sugar Mountain area. Great location, thoughtful amenities, and a comfortable, relaxing experience.

Great place to stay at Sugar! The condo was spacious yet cozy. Very clean. The staff were very friendly! I have no complaints! You do have to either drive down to the bottom parking or take the shuttle down to ski. The bus stop is very close to the condos which was nice. And of course the view was amazing! We will be back!

Really great stay. Spacious apartment, clean and well-maintained. All the cooking tools and pots/pans we needed (but bring your own ingredients/condiments, like salt/pepper). Hot tub and pool were well heated and not crowded even over the holidays. Easy access to the mountains. Only note is that the fireplace hasn’t worked since the hurricane — totally understandable, but would have been nice to have that on the listing. Absolutely would stay again!

Staff was very friendly, communication was clear. The location was gorgeous! Some of the decor was a bit dated and there was some peeling paint, but other than that it was a perfect stay and I'd be glad to stay there again.

Older condo, room furniture a bit dated. Sofa bed could use a thicker mattress or at least a mattress foam cover. but overall did the job for a weekend family ski trip.

4/10 Fair

The condo was in very poor condition. Dirty stained carpet, hair every where in the bathroom and dirty showers and the toilets had not been cleaned either. Great location but the condition overall. The game room was terrible, machines didn’t work the ping pong paddles were so bad you couldn’t play and the pool table was pitiful. Would not stay again.

6/10 Good

Good location, although it is high up in the mountain, but it has a beautiful view and the lodge we stayed at was huge. Now some cons. The place is outdated and it needs some repair. The shower door in one the bathrooms was broken. It took about 2 days for the living room area to heat up. We asked for a hearer but they ran out. The place needed better cleaning.
