Reviews and Ratings
The Sundeck offers an unparalleled ski in-ski out experience, complemented by excellent food and friendly service. The views are breathtaking, and it's great to bond with family and fellow guests. While the rooms are comfortable, they could use a little update. The absence of a TV may not appeal to everyone, but it fosters more interaction and shared experiences.
I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Sundeck! The ski-in/ski-out convenience was unmatched, making it easy to hit the slopes whenever I wanted. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. While some rooms could use a little updating, the incredible views and fantastic dining experiences really made up for it. Overall, it's definitely a place I would return to, though I wish some of the rooms were a bit larger.
The Sundeck offers an unbeatable ski-in, ski-out experience with a fantastic atmosphere, great views, and live entertainment most afternoons. While the building shows its age and could use some updates, the overall value for money is exceptional, especially given the prime location. The service is excellent, making it a truly enjoyable stay for any skiing enthusiast.
I had a wonderful time at the Sundeck! The ski-in, ski-out access is unbeatable, and the meals were phenomenal, especially the three-course dinners. But I did find the courtyard room a bit cramped and in need of a makeover, which wasn't ideal. Overall, I highly recommend this place for a skiing getaway, but consider upgrading to the mountain view room for more space.
I had a wonderful stay at Sundeck with its superb ski-in/ski-out location and breathtaking views. The food was fantastic, especially the three-course dinners! However, the courtyard room I stayed in was quite small and in need of a makeover, which was a bit disappointing. The service was mostly good, but the dining process for some items could be improved.
