Powderhorn Chateau

Powderhorn Chateau

10/10 Excellent
"Three nights here. Booked a studio room with ‘aircon' as its getting into spring. Upon arrival, noticed no aircon, and the room was hot! Spoke to reception and showed them my booking that clearly showed aircon. They were very apologetic saying they had taken over in winter and no one had yet mentioned it yet! I was moved to a room in the main building, which was very nice. The dinner and breakfast restaurant are lovely. Comfortable bed, great bathroom, quiet. European style timber ski resort. Great food, nice staff. I don't mind things going wrong, as long as it is excepted and attempts made to rectify. That absolutely occurred here, The rest of my stay was lovely."
