Great resort experience. If you're looking for the feeling of a full service resort, this is a great choice. Nice amenities, friendly and helpful staff. If you are staying off season, be warned that some restaurants and shops in the village will be closed.

Overall the stay was great. Clean and safe. Disappointed that it took two days (half the trip) to get a replacement toaster only to have them give us another broken one. Not the end of the world but considering the price we paid for this place it should have been a simple fix.

Overall a really great property. We stayed three nights. It was a good spacious room but right next to the Gondola so it was noisy while it was in operation. Also, I hadn’t realized that they do not clean the rooms each night. Our room was not cleaned or refreshed for the 3 nights we were there. As a family of 5 I would have liked a refresh and some new towels. The room itself was fantastic. Very spacious with full kitchen and washer/dryer. Northstar itself is great. We loved mountain biking and the little village is nice with a good coffee shop called CoffeeBar. Service at the Hyatt was very basic. There are no restaurants on site and dining around the immediate area is limited (unless you want to dine at the Ritz close by). We had a fantastic stay. I wouod have given it 5 stara for our overall experience, but as a mom on vacation I would have loved to come back each day to a refreshed room.

Friendly Staff, Comfortable Stay
The front office staff was wonderful! I think the lady's name was "Fredlee", and she was so kind! The room was nice with comfortable beds and a wonderful deep tub that I was able to take a bubble bath in. I'm over six foot tall, so that was a wonderful surprise to have such a big tub! The fireplace was a disappointment, though. It was such a small gas flame. The view from the room had some trees but also staring at a big parking lot. That's why we didn't use the balcony. It was nice to be close to the Villa, but everything was really expensive. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

It was disappointing that most of the stores and restaurants weren’t open. We were there Monday-Thursday. When we asked staff, they mentioned about it being off season and catering to the mountain biking. Regardless, they should have been open. Perhaps better marketing for people to come there in the summertime. Also, the pool area appeared to have a wasp problem. My husband got the net to clean the pool, while the towel guy sat there. A child got stung. Please consider spraying. Thanks!
