A good winter retreat

Reviewed Jan 30, 2022
Solo woman traveller stayed a week in mid December on a time share exchange with Interval Int. Good location with in walking distance of many amenities. Enjoyed the Canmore museum and drove up for x-c sking at the Nordic Center ( one needs an provincial pass for parking there )

Had a two bedroom, second floor with jacuzzi which was relaxing and the fireplace made the ambience perfect. Well supplied kitchen. Appreciated second bedroom for family visiting on the weekend.

Sounds carry between units and some late night revellers next door could be heard.

An advance email sent about check in and would recommend calling to confirm. The resort is at times short staffed. During my stay however were very responsive to requests and have daily housekeeping knocks for emptying garbage. At one point a repair to leaky toilet needed and done promptly.

Underground parking included and one elevator not working but other one Ok with access to your floor. As several resorts together make sure you have the correct parking entrance.

Access to all areas needing a code and personally getting into my room at first was a challenge. Would cancel after 3 digit pressed. Staff came and helpful.

A daily resort fee for use of the nearby pool. The pool itself was good including and outdoor hot tub and good for families as had a water slide. No change rooms just washrooms. One had to cross outdoors and use a code for entry, The one time I used at night had to go to main check-in and front door frozen shut. Thankfully staff at desk.

Have stayed at Sunset Resort at Canmore previously and have always enjoyed the four seasons of Canmore. We stayed at the resort from January 15-22, 2021 and we were very impressed with the recent renovations of the units. New flooring,countertops, sinks, paint, bbq area, appliances and decor have really freshened up the units and made it much more cheerful and bright. My understanding is that they have not completed renovating all of the units yet but when they are completed, they will make for an excellent home away from home.

Room tip: Canmore is an amazing place to visit at all times of the year.

I wasn’t happy staying on this hotel. They booked us for allotted time to go swimming but when we got to the pool, it was too crowded. No physical distancing. The attendant will just let you in without taking consideration the actual number of people in the pool and she was kind of rude. In addition to that, the pool was so hard to find. It wasn’t explained well by the front desk. It was so frustrating. The beds and pillows were very uncomfortable as well. I dont recommend staying in here.

We have never had a guest who had difficulty finding the pool. The attendant at the pool is counting as people enter the pool and we are following the AHS rules We hope you had a safe trip home.

Do you want to check-in to a hotel that requires a floor wash prior to putting your bags on the floor? Does the sight of water damage and possible mold next to a celling sprinkler cause you joy? Do you want to be forced to sit on the side of the pool while your children swim, because the front office staff repeatedly messed up on your booking? Are you looking for a dip in a hot tub with 17 other people in it during COVID-19? Does the thought of staying up til 4 AM because of a party on the floor above you sound appealing? (don't worry, they lit a microwave on fire to keep the place warm). If all this sounds like a dream vacation, then look no further! Sunset Resorts Canmore has it all. To top it all off, you will be offered a 20% off two night stay for any inconvenience that may have come your way during your stay.

Room tip: Find another hotel in your local directory.

We appreciate your feedback but we are a little surprised by your comments as we have discussed some of this previously with you. If there are any unit deficiencies or noise complaints, we ask that you contact our front desk immediately so that we may correct them while you are here. According to our records there was no communication until after you checked out. The sprinkler in question was repaired there is no sign of water damage or mold, the ceiling stipple simply needs to be blended in better. We have contacted the contractor but appreciate your report. AHS has set pool limits for your safety which we agree with, however if any of our guests notice a lack of distancing please report it to the Covid Responsible Person so that they may help spread people out.

This is the worst place I have ever stayed. My friend and I arrived and checked in. The first thing was the living room television. The described video was on and would not turn off. Nor would the guide come on. Maintenance tried to fix it but could not. Fine. We’ll live with the described video always on. Then, the tv in the bedroom would not turn on. Maintenance finally got it working but it didn’t have cable like the Main tv. Fine.

At midnight, the sound of water running and splashing was extremely loud in the master bedroom and continued all through the night. The front desk was emailed about this and then called the next day. Maintenance came and looked but said they couldn’t find anything. The same thing happened the next night and after having to sleep on the couch, the front desk was told again and we said there is something really wrong, you better check into it. Maintenance came again and finally took our words seriously and began to look at the units and the hvac system. So two nights of severely broke sleep due to hvac problems.

As I was cleaning up and going to do laundry I found disgusting towels in the dryer that were crusty. Right away I called the front desk to advise of this as now I am worried about cleanliness of the unit during COVID as the cleaning staff obviously does not clean well or look at the unit carefully to miss a dryer full of towels.

Upon our first night and subsequent nights, this place short-sheeted the bed!!!! I don’t understand it. The bottom sheet does not fit EITHER bed. This is something this place does apparently for all beds. Very uncomfortable if you have ever slept in a short sheeted bed.

Also read the rules CAREFULLY! If you don’t put dirty towels in the bathtub, they charge you $40. (But it seems ok to leave dirty towels in the dryer).

Upon complaining all that was offered for our horrendous two nights was a free late checkout (which they charge $40 dollars for. I have stayed MANY places around the world and have never been charged for a late checkout if the room is not booked). The accommodation confirmed there was an hvac problem and did not seem to think towels left
In the dryer was a problem as if shouldn’t pose a concern about the place being cleaned. We were offered a discount on our NEXT stay. We advised management we will NEVER be back due to the terrible accommodation this time. We were the told to transfer the discount to someone else. So no discount AND we were told to subject a friend or relative to this horrible place to get a discount then.

This place also charges a nightly resort fee. It’s a resort in name only.

Stay far away from this place and listen to the negative reviews.

We thank you for your feedback and appreciate the fact that you did let us know about the issues while you were here. Our goal is to fix them for our guests as soon as possible but in some cases, such as the HVAC issue, it can take some time to figure it out. Surprisingly, the building didn’t have any 'no heat' complaints until Saturday so no alarm bells were wrung until then, otherwise it would have been fixed sooner as it was a simple pressure adjustment. Unfortunately we had no control over the length of time to get this corrected. As per your TV issues they were fixed. It is necessary to bring the original remote control for the TV and since it is important to limit contact with our guests, we try to refrain from entering the rooms when the guest are present. The towels in the dryer were clean but we apologize for not removing them. We felt that some compensation was due for your inconvenience, that is why we authorized a future discount as well as a free late check out. Because you booked through our online travel partner, this is the best we can do, and believe that it is fair. There is no expiry on the use of the discount and you can feel free to transfer this to one of your friends or family if you can’t make it here yourself. I will authorize this. We hope you had a safe trip home.

We were so lucky to get this hotel/condo for a week with our timeshare. What a great place, the suite was big and very nice, like a home away from home. We had almost no complaints, we even had a jacuzzi to soak in after our daily hikes. We will defiantly try and stay here again!
