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!

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.

The hotel is next to the casino, and very well maintained. If they have microwave in the room will be great, many of the same level hotels have it.

Great location to stay, with unique charm and had a more Rustic campy vibe. Enjoyed our stay here and enjoyed the coffee shop each morning. Our first room had some small issues, so staff were helpful and let us move into a more suitable room during our stay. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here for this laid back location.
