Tamarack Resort - Living room

Tamarack Resort

Tamarack ended up letting me roll my season pass over. I was able to get to the right person, Stacy…read moreSaunders, who provided excellent customer service.

The highlight of the trip was the golf course and their excellent guest service, along with Patrick at the outside golf course bar. We arrived and learned we didn't get the correct room with any kind of view, and the ski lift is broken. I bought the trip insurance but I don't think it covers disappointment. The whole place is CASHLESS. Trying to buy a hot dog on the golf course was annoying as her internet wasn't working, but thankfully she let us play through and pay for it on our way back by on the 13th hole. The only place for dinner Wednesday was Seven Devils. You have to have a credit card to buy a beer and you have to pour it yourself, and pay for the warm foam. It's a ripoff. There was a kid sitting at the actual bar. We each had the chicken gyro that had overcooked, dry, stringy chicken thighs. Our server said she loved them but usually got steak. That option wasn't on the menu and no offer to fix it when we said the chicken was bad. Our beer was supposed to be charged to our gift card, but they charged it to our credit card. Rendezvous was supposedly open Thursday but we were told we probably wouldn't get reservations and we went into Donnelly to eat instead. At the "resort", the pizza place, the diner, and midway restaurant all closed. Didn't check the creamery. Most of the shops seemed closed. They advertise it as a resort with dining and shopping but that isn't the reality. There is no where for a sit-down breakfast. The coffee shop has breakfast sandwiches that are served on a soggy English muffin or plain bagel with no bagel upgrade option as they come premade and are reheated in a toaster over. Since our room water is brown, I wanted a coffee hopefully made with better water and real cream. The website says it's 99 cents for drip but when you get there it is $2.99 for drip. Our floor is sticky and dirty, which is especially frustrating since we pay so much for cleaning. I can't walk barefoot. The clock on the oven started flashing in the middle of the night, after I thought I had set it, and nothing seems to work to set it correctly. I had to cover it with a towel. We set our thermostat to 68 before we left for golfing and dinner, and our room was 74 when we got back and it has a funny smell, like flooring chemicals or something. Tried to turn it down our first night in the middle of the night and couldn't get it to work right then either. It seems very finicky. Our toilet runs constantly but doesn't make noise, just wastes tens of gallons of water a day. There is a dog that barks every time we come and go, but thankfully it is quiet at night. I have emailed the check-in office about all of it and have not heard back. I tried to call and there was no answer. I requested a partial refund and have not heard back either. For two nights our room (studio, not a suite), with no view, brown water, and a funny smell with a toilet that runs all the time was about $650 with fees. Our golfing with club rental was about $460. We spent a lot of money here and expected a whole lot more than what we got for over one thousand dollars in costs. Also, there is no where to buy bottled water after 7 pm. Sevin Devils gave me some in to go cups from the soda gun, but it had the same tint as our room water. I did find a water bottle filler that had a filter and the water looks clearer.

Accommodations include cabins, yurts, meadow camping and spaces for RVs. Prices are different for each and are fair. We stayed over two nights (RV space and cabin) over the Labor Day weekend/week and had a nice time! The grounds were clean and quiet even during a busy time. All the RV spaces seemed suitable and were nicely sized with full hook ups available. The night we stayed in a cabin (cabin 3), we found it to be comfortable and clean, with three beds (two queens and a full bed jn the loft - you must climb a small ladder to go up there), a full bathroom with shower, a wood burning stove for heat, and some seating. There were a couple power outlets available. Electricity is available from 7am-10pm. On site there is a restaurant which has surprisingly excellent food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We enjoyed such things as a breakfast burrito, breakfast sandwich, a burger and a reuben sandwich. Sodas, waters, beer and wine are available. They have fantastic milkshakes as well (try the Huckleberry!). Prices were good and service as well. There is a geothermal pool on site as well (rules apply and a waiver) which we enjoyed. Jesse (the manager) was awesome, friendly and informative (especially about news/updated with regard to our backpacking trip) and all staff/crew was great as well.

The room was way more swanky than anything we ever stay in, but even my husband commented on how nice it was, and he isn't usually impressed with hotels. You could sleep in the shower with how much space there was. The ambiance definitely matched all the things I had heard about it - very industrial meets modern in a thoughtful way. And don't sleep on Blue Collar Coffee or the rooftop bar, if even for just the view of the foothills. You can't beat the location either - it's walkable to everything but just outside the true heart of downtown where it gets busier. Recommend for a staycation night (what we did) or a splurge-y stay with friends!

Stayed at this location for our first time in February. Best explanation that I can provide is WOW!…read more From the time we arrived (Valet) through the check out (front desk) we were treated like royalty. Amazing service by a staff that are truly ambassadors for the brand and create an incredible atmosphere. The hotel is very clean and very inviting from the lobby to the rooms. Our room layout was wonderful and the room was loaded with amenities. It was quiet and easy to navigate. Location is central to downtown so it's really easy to walk to the nightlife after dinner. Rooftop was amazing and what a view. We also made reservations at the Supper Club and it too was incredible. Service was impeccable while not being overbearing. The food was amazing and very fairly priced. Cannot wait to go back and eat more off the menu. Overall, I cannot believe there is a better hotel to stay at in Boise. Do yourself a favor and enjoy a "staycation" at the Renegade.

Hotel NoBo Cascade, Tapestry Collection by Hilton - Guest room bath

Hotel NoBo Cascade, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

(26 reviews)

My wife and I just completed our two-night stay here in Cascade as we celebrated our wedding…read moreanniversary. I chose NoBo based on the reviews. NoBo is located at the northern end of Cascade, right off 55. I has a nice curb appeal, almost a Tudor vibe. The parking lot was huge and only a fraction was being used--including, I noticed, a couple in a large, class A RV. Hopefully they received permission from management. Inside is nice, perhaps a little dated. There is a curbed staircase to the second floor with large, nice wood banisters. They have an inside pool and jacuzzi, and even an onsite restaurant, which we did not try. It is three stories high. We did have to wait for at least 10 minutes to be helped when we arrived, not because of any fault of the desk clerk, but because a woman was having an ongoing conversation about have her dog stay there. No one really acknowledged us during this time. Speaking of checking in: I really liked that, through the app, you could check in early and even choose your room, along with a digital key, such that we only really needed to check in at the front upon arrival in order to get my wife a room key, as she didn't want to download the app to get the digital key. We chose the third floor, away from the elevator, facing 55. We did have a view of the parking lot, but we also had a view of the mountains, and that was nice. Our room had two queens, which is how we normally book, because my wife is a sound sleeper and I'm not, and I don't want to bother her. The room was spacious enough. It had a dresser and a simple desk, though no paper or pen. There was no clock in the room, perhaps on purpose. There was also no mini fridge or microwave. At first we did not feel that the wall-mounted AC was doing the job, but later felt that it cooled the room just great. Of note, the beds were about as comfortable as any hotel bed I've slept in, very nice. The bathroom was small, as was the tub. The water pressure was weak, taking away from the pleasure of taking a shower. The fan was controlled by buttons next to the toilet and was on a timer. You could choose 5, 10, 15, and 30 minute durations. There was a hairdryer. Counter space was limited. There were limited electrical outlets on the nightstand and desk; I had to have devices sitting on the floor to charge. We had an issue with our hair conditioner bottle running out and mentioned it to the desk clerk. They responded immediately, so service was great. The complimentary hot buffet breakfast was definitely a weak point. Most hotel breakfasts have watery scrambled eggs, sausage, potatoes and sometimes biscuits and gravy, as well as the other options, like waffles. The first morning, there was a fritata that had no flavor and was not warm. The second morning there was a small omelet with what seemed like American cheese, which I don't like. The potatoes were soggy and tasteless. The sausage patties and links were good. The biscuits were decent. Coffee was just OK. All in all, a nice stay. As far as we could see, if you want to stay in a hotel, this is the only game in town. There are motels, but staying in those places goes back to my college days. No more. Nobo is a nice hotel, reasonably priced, conveniently located, though a lakeview would have been optimal. We've stayed in McCall before, and we think we like the idea of staying in quiet Cascade and traveling up to McCall if desired, only about a 35-40 minute drive.

The hotel is nice. Professional and friendly staff. Clean and roomy rooms…read more The restaurant has changed. It is no longer a Tapas and Wine Bar. They serve pub-type food. The food is okay, but not great. The prices are inexpensive.

We farm and ranch and are not uppity people. I used to rodeo many, many years ago and stayed in some pretty questionable places, but now I can honestly say that this is by far, the worst place I have ever stayed. It wasn't worth $50.00 per night, let alone $170.00 per night. By the time the owner remembered to call me back, we were already being charged for the next day and she said it was too late to leave without keeping the money for that night and would not refund us, so we stayed. From the moment we walked in, the room reeked of musty mildew. It was so strong we went to the store to buy air freshener, but it barely helped -- the odor was baked into the room. The shower had visible mold all around the floor and base of the walls. It was black in some spots, and clearly hadn't been cleaned in a long time. The bathroom was completely impractical -- no counter space to put toiletries, and no closet or dresser anywhere in the room to store clothes. We were forced to live out of our suitcases on the floor. The chairs look like they were throwaways taken from a dumpster. The cabinet above the stove is grease stained from not being cleaned. The sponge for the kitchen sink was wet and moldy. Even the pot scrubber was separated and needed to be thrown away and replaced. There are no knives, spoons or forks. One of the worst things we found was in the bathroom cup holder: a used razor blade cover was underneath the stacked plastic cups, and the bottom of the holder was filled with what looked like dried toothpaste spit. Absolutely disgusting and unsanitary. Even the light fixtures had mold speckled across the inside and cover lenses. Everything about the room felt damp, dirty, and neglected. There was food under the edge of the bed, clearly stating that the floors had not been swept in some time. We texted the owner pictures of everything -- including the mold, the razor blade cover, and the filthy cup holder -- and received no apology, no offer to switch rooms, no refund, no discount. Nothing. To top it off, we went to get ice at 1:00 p.m. and found the office locked up with the "OPEN" sign still lit, and no one answering the door or phone. This wasn't just a dirty room -- it was an actively unhealthy and unsafe environment. It's clear the owners do not care about cleanliness, guests, or even basic hygiene standards. In the email we received for checkout, the owner asked us to leave a review so here it is. I wish I could attach photos.. Do yourself a favor and stay anywhere else.
