This was our first expirence at a lodge instead of a hotel. This was a great alternatibe and so close to everything. Our family of 5 and gear fit comfortably. Check-in was easy. Beautiful view from our room.

Ms Jennifer and Aria made sure our rooms and overall stay went as smooth as possible as it was very last minute because our initial reservation (at Worlmark) canceled on us a few hrs before check in time . We were so glad we stayed at Gondola Lodge instead. The location was absolutely fantastic and our connecting rooms worked great. Their kitchens were bit tight, but had everything we needed to prepare meals. Their strict quiet policy was greatly appreciated, it was very peaceful. We'll definitely come back for our Summer trip and recommend this place.

Loved the proximity to the beach area and that we got discounted prices to the lakeside beach. The rooms were average. Nothing to hype up. The hot tub and pool were a little run down. My husband and I didn’t want to get into it. But my kids had fun playing there.

Amazingly quiet and felt private even in a congested part of town. I would have liked the hot tub to be an automatic part of the rental

Clean, cozy, quite, convenient location - only 3 minutes walking distance from the Heavenly Gondola. Management allowed us to keep the car parked after the checkout, so we can ski at Heavenly.

6/10 Good

Not bad, not good.
Location was perfect, close to everything. The hotel was interesting. Never saw staff at all. No check in person ( everything gate and door coded) If you didn't get parking inside the small parking lot enclosure, you parked outside the secured gate. The room itself, was not clean. The shower floor was dirty. I felt the need to wear flip flops in it. We changed the sheets after the second day as the ones that were on it smelled dirty. Window air conditioner was in the bathroom, so the bathroom was freezing and rest of place muggy. I probably won't come back to this place. The grounds were nice and pool looked nice.

Wonderful place to stay
This was our first time here. It was full the first couple of nights but quiet and able to park inside the gated area. The room was clean and everything worked. Nice little kitchenette that had all the basics, plenty of closet space to hang clothes, bed was comfortable, fireplace was nice, shower/tub combo with nice hot water with decent pressure and it had a back door off bathroom you could open to let air flow (opened to a patio we used to store our bikes). The manager checks in with you and is reachable via text or phone call. I asked if there was laundry facilities and they responded quickly. They have two sets of washer/dryers, one upstairs, one downstairs. The manager on site was very kind and personable. It is also walking distance to everything, shopping, restaurants, etc. We had a great experience staying at the Gondola lodge and we’ll definitely be back again.

Thanks to John, who was on-site and provided pliers upon request, we were able to fix our chains and get them onto our car tires for the snowy road conditions the morning of check-out. That’s probably not in his job description, so I appreciate Gondola Lodge going above and beyond. John was super responsive and friendly in person. Thank you!

Photos of room are deceiving. The room is MUCH SMALLER than a standard hotel room. There is NO PLACE to store clothing or anything for that matter. The unit relies on fireplace heat making the bathroom FREEZING!
Raymond, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed at the Gondola Lodge and it was wonderful. The unit we were in was very nice, warm & cozy with the fireplace. No wait for hot water! The minifridge helped keep our soft drinks cold. There were plenty of channels on tv to watch, which was awesome to see as we winded down for the evening and got ready in the morning. Loved the dimming lights and that the entire complex was a noise free zone. We got lots of rest and enjoyed everything nearby because of it's location; in the heart of everything. We felt very safe and overall the lodge was impressive. Thanks to Jennifer for the ease of communication and access. I definitely recommend this place, even to picky folk.

6/10 Good

There are lots of things to like about this studio. It has nice, modern appliances. Outstanding location a block away from the gondola, shops, and restaurants. Close to a large grocery store. Lots of utensils and cleaning supplies in the kitchen. The staff is extremely helpful and quick to respond to my needs. It’s a great policy to have a quiet time after 10:00. No disturbance from neighbors. The problem is there’s too little space. The entryway is too small to remove ski boots and gear without getting the floors all dirty. (The broom and dustpan they provide is not enough.) There’s barely enough space to store one set of skis and boots. There is not enough space to store two. There’s no dresser cabinet. Instead, there’s cubby holes hanging in a closet that are too small for one person’s 6 days of clothes. (They do have washer dryer facilities and have provided detergent.) This leaves insufficient horizontal space for a helmet or wet gloves to dry. The dining table is too small, and it’s hard to navigate the chairs around the sofa bed and ottoman. One suggestion would be to replace the sofa bed and two of the three end tables with a dresser and comfortable chair. This would add horizontal space and free up space in the closet for storage. It would make the table and chairs easier to use. Of course, removing the sofa bed eliminates a sleeping option, but this studio is too small for two skiers or boarders, even if they share the same bed.
