We have been visiting North Star resort for almost 14 years. It used to be a very upscale resort. This past week we went for a three night stay at one of the Resort managed properties. Expedia shows a balcony. There was not a balcony. the WIFI did not work and Resort said just connect to a different WIFI. All we got was slow or no WIFI. Two Burners on the stove did not work. The water heater either did not work or was very small. We could not take a shower longer than t0 minutest before the hot water ran out. The bed pillows were terrible. It was like no pillow and last thing the Expedia said the bed is a queen bed and I can not swear to it but I think it was a double. It was so uncomfortable. We booked three nights and we went home after two nights. We talked to the reservation desk and they kept saying it is Expedia problem. The desk clerk seemed to have found us another room. He went to ask his manager and came back and said not there was not any rooms available with a balcony.

Great staff & Property!

First impression was guest parking and that was a struggle. We arrived late (11pm). Check in was smooth and staff was excellent! He instructed us to search for a space marked in green, which we could not find. We contacted the safety patrol person and he found us a place to park in the main parking area, which we did not know about. When we finally made it to the second floor of the Timber Creek Lodge, we noticed the carpet was terribly stained. As a ski resort, we recognize that it is almost impossible to keep it looking clean. Finally, we were surprised by the extra $10 fee to use the recreation area, as we already paid a resort fee. The pool and hot tubs were listed as an amenity but there was no mention of an additional fee. Otherwise, I would consider returning to the resort. The property was lovely and overall clean and comfortable.

Great spot, service is a let down

Rooms have no air conditioning. The patio door and screen were left open prior to our check in, the thermostat was registering 92degrees in the room. Mini swamp cooler was not functioning. After 3 attempts, was able to contact customer service. They brought 2 additional fans. Achieved a decent temp by 11:00pm thanks to Mother Nature. We paid a 77 dollar resort fee, only to find out that to use the pool and facilities was an additional 10$ per guest. When requesting a late check out of 12:00pm (which was stated was an option included in the resort fee) we were told no. Those things aside, location is great. Very cool view over the village. I would say this would be a much better stay during the winter.

Great condo. The day pass for the pool, gym, and other recreation was phenomenal. We went during the off season. While it was great there was no crowd, on the flip slide most establishments for food and entertainment were closed. That's not a reflection of the property, but more about the season. Great property and staff!
