A 4-star resort in the beautiful town of Mica Village, BC.
Okay, I'm not sure if this lodge is really open to the public, as most people who live here are construction workers or possibly BC Hydro employees. But if you are lucky enough to land a spot here, this is the gold standard of lodges.
Parking is available for free in several lots surrounding the building complex. Just be ready to dig your car out of 0.5m of snow when it's time to leave.
The inside is surprisingly clean, and has all of your amenities:
- cafeteria with decent food (especially prime rib Sundays and steak Wednesdays)
- laundry with free detergent
- games room with pool table, darts, ping pong, foosball, and air hockey
- bar selling $5 local brews from Revelstoke
- common rooms for hanging with friends
The rooms themselves are quite great as well. Flat screen TVs that have USB plugs, a mini fridge under your desk for storing beer, and even your own washroom with daily cleanings. The only downside is that there's no Wi-Fi available here. But they do have broadband Internet in the rooms. Oh, and these rooms are small, at maybe 130 square feet in total. But it's enough to live.
When you're out in the part of the world, this is quite a great place to enjoy the good life. read more
