We had a lovely stay at Basecamp. The staff was friendly, room was clean, and price was amazing. The location is perfect, as you can walk to many restaurants and to the Heavenly gondola. The walls are very thin so bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Otherwise it was great for our family!

Met expectations
It was a good stay. Perfect for a weekend stay. Small room but just what we needed. Nothing spectacular but just good enough.

Comfy, quirky, fun!
I love how warm the rooms are, and they are comfortable for a weekend of skiing. I love the beds but the pillows could use some help.
Having the beer pub in the hotel is also great and drinking cider while making s'mores outdoors has been a good end of ski day
The coffee shop in the lobby is also a good deal for getting some caffeine before hitting the slopes.
A bit of a walk to the Gondola but rent a locker and all is well!

Love the location of this hotel. It’s super close to all the casinos/restaurants but it’s also away enough to be a mellow spot. Our room was spacious and clean. Felt safe while on property. Our room had a small balcony.. love it but it was too cold to be outside. Parking is limited but we found a spot. Love the beer garden/common areas this place offers. Overall— it was a good stay and I’d come back.

Re-habed SLT motel(s). Young vibe. Brewery on-site $$$. Property is starting to feel tired again. Small rooms, no frills bath, old school but not noisy wall furnace unit with very insensitive thermostat. Very good coffee down in the house cafe
