GREAT EXPERIENCE 2009

My 14 y.o. daughter and I spent 5 nights during Spring Break 2009. We had a great time. Room was confortable w/exception of temperature. We had room heat turned off all week and routinely cracked the balcony door to cool room. Location was closest we've ever stayed to ski slopes. Convenient to shuttle bus, town activities. She loved the hot tubs with snow fall and freezing hair. She enjoyed room service while I fought altitude sickness. Definitely will come back with rest of the family. Parking garage was great--didn't have to clean snow off of car. SUGGESTION TO HOTEL: Would love to have microwave oven in rooms. On our return trip to Dayton, OH, we stayed at a new hotel in Indianapolis that had both fridge and microwave oven. Front desk had a variety of micro snacks/entrees for purchase--very convenient.
Great Divide 2/1 - 2/6

The location of the lodge is great for skiing. Walk across the street and a parking lot and you are on the slope. Free ski/snoboard storage is on the ground level so there is no need to haul your skis up to your room. Since the lodge is built on a slope the upper floors (8 to 10) require two elevator rides, a bit of a walk but no big deal. There is a bus just out front that takes you into town as well as the lodge having a courtesy shuttle. The staff is pleasant and helpful. The rooms are hotel style but large enough to spread out your equipment when getting ready for a day on the slopes. I would recommend this place to stay for skiing/snowboarding.
decent place--clean

this is our second stay --- convenient to ski slopes -- rooms clean which is of major importance -- only complaint was had to take elevator to up several floors, get off and walk a maze to another elevator to go to upper floors
Great divide but...

Most of the hotel staff was friendly and helpfull. We had booked ( and paid for )an upgraded room on line, we where given a std room ( we did not know ) we asked about it and staff was none commital weither our initial room was an upgrade, after 2 nights we asked to change rooms, they did, and next room was up to expectation. Not cool.

Is this a hotel, or a maze?

The layout of the hotel is extremely confusing. To get to our room, we had to walk down a hallway to reach the elevator (which was very slow), take it to the 7th floor, then walk all the way across the hotel down another long zig-zagged hallway to another elevator (also very slow) up to the 9th floor. It was the only way to get to our room. It might not be a big deal to some, but when you have a lot of ski gear, it can be annoying. It was also frustrating since the pool and hot tub were all the way on the other side of the hotel.
We also had to change our room mid-stay. Our first room was apparently located next to the laundry / garbage chutes. So every morning starting at 5am, we were woken up by loud banging sounds associated with the housekeeping activity. The light switches did not always work, and the room was always very hot, even with the heat off (and there is no A/C to cool the room down).
The location of the lodge was decent (near Peak 9), but there is still a 5-minute uphill walk to the chairlift, so it is definitely not "ski-in / ski-out." The Beaver Run Resort had a better location closer to the lift.
The restaurant / bar was convienient for the occasional apres-ski drink or snack, but be prepared to pay $3.29 if you want to buy a small cup of coffee.
The staff was friendly and helpful, but overall I'm not sure I would choose to stay here again.
