Not much sleep

Pillows were extremely hard. I got very little sleep that night. My sister and brother in law said they had the same problem
William, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not great

No idea where the lodge was because no directions were given by the desk. No one mentioned shuttle bus options, no staff in lodge to answer questions. Will not stay again
Jerry, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lodge was nice. Great shuttle service around the grounds. A few hiccups. There was no elevator in our building so we had to drag our luggage up the stairs. Given the hotel rate we expected daily room cleaning. Didn’t happen. Coffee service in room was 2 6 oz cups of regular and 2 of decaf. Not replenished the second day

This place is fantastic!
Shawn, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very poor service

Check in was unacceptable. Politely told our reserved room, king bed, was not available and we had been switched to two single beds. When I objected the young man said he would check with the room supervisor and left me standing at the counter for twenty minutes. I began to speak with another desk agent who told me that even though you are forced to choose a room, and rooms very in price, your forced choice is not guaranteed. Eventually, after 20 more minutes at the desk we were granted the room we had booked. We were not the only ones with that problem. I spoke with another person who had booked two beds for him and his travel partner and were put in a room with only one. Know that we had booked our room 4 months prior to our visit. Holland America can do better.

Nice Time at the Shalet

It was a good comfortable stay. We also ate at the hotel’s steak house restaurant and had a good experience. Had to use a resort shuttle bus to get to room at Canyon Lodge.
