Hockey get away.
It was a lovely suite, great surroundings, friendly staff. We didn’t have a car with us so it was a little out of the way. Nice time of year to visit.

This is the second time we’ve stayed at Polaris, and we will have no hesitation booking again! We love staying at the ski hill, especially for events and the rooms are always clean and comfortable! I would give staff and service a five star - but it seems whenever I call (in business hours) I don’t actually get to speak to anyone, but leaving a voice mail they do get back to you!

Upon arrival they had no record of our reservation. The hotel clerk made us wait while she checked in other clients, even though we were first. Tried to double charge us.

The room was great, and the staff member that checked us in and out was very helpful and thorough. The only negative was the elevator being out of order when we arrived, but it was working again by the next morning. It’s a short building anyhow, so an elevator isn’t the end of the world. We’d definitely stay again.

The room was good but the area we were in was having some renovations done in the halls. No staff at Polaris and none of the restaurants were open although the email I received from them stated they would be open. I understand they were open but closed when they shut the ski hill down. They need to update their email.

6/10 Good

Kimberley was a cute and family friendly resort which was great, however our experience at the Polaris Lodge wasn't the best. The lodge seems to be a separate part of the trickle Creek Lodge so if you need anything, you have to walk over to the other side. This includes checking-in/front desk (staff we're amazing!) and pool/hot tub. The place was under renovation when we got there as well, so it was a bit of a mess and dusty. The temperature control didn't work so even if we had air con on, it was roasting and had to open the windows (during the winter). The rooms we're pretty nice, but there was a lack of basic amenities (blankets, kitchen stuff, dead pillows, etc.) that just put a damper on things. Pretty "meh" experience.
