We’re a family of 6, we needed a room and found this place, we loved it so much, the location is great, the room is beautiful, clean and warm, Natasha, the front desk lady is very nice, and the guy which I don’t have his name is very, very nice, called front desk to let him know we tried to leave but I had a car problem, he didn’t hesitate to come and help us right away even at heavy snow day. Besides the hotel is cozy warm and clean, the crew is very helpful and attentive, we definitely are going to come back again.

We had a great experience at Sessions. The check-in was very easy, great communication system through texts, and very fast response. Close to everything, pretty much walking distance to everything, including the slopes. We loved staying here, and would highly recommend.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I recently stayed at Sessions & Retreat Hotel, and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. Upon entering the room, I noticed several issues that should never occur at any hotel. First, the room felt poorly maintained. The sofa bed was visibly stained and clearly not cleaned, making it unusable. Even more troubling, there was trash left under the kitchen cabinet, which not only indicated a lack of proper cleaning but also raised serious concerns about the hotel’s hygiene standards. To add to the frustration, the restroom door didn’t close or lock properly, which was both inconvenient and unacceptable. These issues significantly impacted my stay and left me questioning the hotel’s commitment to quality and guest satisfaction. I sincerely hope the management addresses these problems promptly to provide a better experience for future guests. However, until significant improvements are made, I cannot recommend staying at this hotel.

Very cozy and convenient location for nearby shops and restaurants. Certain things like space and noise from other guests weren’t the best part of the stay.
