The Approach Hotel

Could hear doors slamming. Not sound proof at all. Didn’t sleep well because of that but also we were excited to have lower level with screen door to easily access the new coaster but upon arrival learned it wasn’t ready (lots of rain caused delays which is understandable just disappointing since we drove 22 hours round trip for that reason) most of the time we had people camped out right out front out door they even set up a table with their food. So when coming and going we had to step through the people sitting right out our door. Seemed to be the rest spot for the mountain bikers. Surprised the restaurant that was close closed its kitchen by 9. No fridge it or microwave in the room. We are a family that stays up late so not having a kitchenette and no access to food or drink after 9 wasn’t ideal for us. The pool was great! Although for a resort it would be nice if they had food/drinks available at or near the pool along with some music.

It was great having a room facing the mountain and a private hot tub away from the main area. Food was excellent at the restaurants and we enjoyed walking everywhere and taking the lift up to trails. Note: rooms on 5th floor require walking up two flights of stairs. Also bring a hair dryer and kettle if you want those amenities.

Close to the ski hill . Not expensive . Close to parking . Good bed . Good bath shower in a good sized bathroom . Clean . Newly refitted renovated . Wifi was good . No kettle . No fridge . TV had no signal . No front desk . No nearby elevator . Inadequate light . Rooms are not made up every day . Staff is not in evidence at all .

Great ski in ski out location with ski storage and a coffee shop!

This is definitely not a 5-star property but if interest is on-hill accommodation at Panorama it fits well. The rooms are rather spartan but are large and clean. The Fireside Cafe win the hotel is a good option for breakfast. It would be good if the staff were better trained and provided with information. I could not locate my room as it was in a second building. None of the staff seemed to know this and I had to return to the central check-in to get details. I do not understand why the hotel makes check-out difficult. One has to return to the resort's central office via a lift and walk to check-out rather than just leaving keys in the room or visiting the resort's information desk beside the horel

Hotel is dated. Elevators only go to certain floors in one wing. No elevators in other wing which is 5 stories. No mini fridge, no microwave. Check in time is 5pm two of our rooms weren’t ready until after 5pm. I would not recommend.

Close to lifts and amenities

The Approch is right off the hill, and this room seems like a deal…. Until it’s 2am and you can sleep from the T-Bar rave going on, and the hords of lifting tracking past your room screaming and yelling. Wouldn’t recommend if you want to sleep through the night.

Was clean resort

The room was clean but that was about it. Kinda felt like the recent renovation was done cheaply and some of the fundamentals were missed. Elevator was broken. Tv didnt work. some of the electrical sockets werent working. No phone to call the desk. Guy tried to fix the tv but nothing ever happened. Wont be recommending Panorama or the approach anytime soon..
