The ONLY dark spot on the trip was the accomodations. We arranged
travel through MountainVacations.com, and I am not sure I would
ever use them again. We stayed at the Prospector Lodge, and I think
it would be fair
to
say we paid far more than what the room was worth... We documented
the following problems with the Prospector Lodge:

1) Bed had no mattress pad.
2) Bed sheets never changed during entire week.
3) Floor never vacuumed during entire week.
4) Shower stall never cleaned during entire week.
5) Irregular towel service (sometimes had to ask, sometimes no
washclothes,
etc...)
6) Trash not removed every day.
7) Sidewalks never cleared, very icy, you couldn't even carry your
bags
from
Reception to our building without great difficulty (I hope if, god
forbid,
someone gets hurt they sue, they deserve it!!!)
8) Broken window blinds, no drapes, very light in room at night.
9) Drinking glasses never cleaned or replaced, no coffee cups (even
though
there was a coffee maker.)
10) No water for shower after skiing on 31 Jan and 1 Feb (entire
building
did not have water.)
11) Furniture in disrepair (knobs on dressers fall off, drawers
hard to open.)
12) MountainVactions.com website states "4th night free valid

2003-January 11, 2004, January 25, 2004 - April 8, 2004", did not
appear
to
be reflected in the price we paid.

Except for the snow-related stuff, that sounds like the hotel we
spent 2 weeks in in Paris because our business host had made the
reservation. In addition, we had drunken Algerian day-workers
guffawing at French-dubbed American cartoons just outside the room,
over whom we had to crawl if we wanted to take a bath down the hall,
which we mostly didn't after one of them barfed in the tub. In
addition, the bed"spring" was a sort of metal net with 4-point
suspension and they thriftily saved the price of pillowcases by
folding the bottom sheet up over the pillow and tucking it in. We
also had to ask for extra toilet paper if we used more than 5
sheets/person/day, and they were those cheesy individual folded-up
sheets that you sometimes find in public restrooms.

The best thing about it was gobbling up all the morning croissants
for the entire floor before the rest of the guests woke up.
