Nice renovated room. Older hotel so yes there is some noise. They provided ear plugs but were not necessary. Great ski in/out

The rooms are nicely renovated and very comfortable, the hallways need a refresh but that didn’t bother us too much as we didn’t spend a lot of time there. Our family really enjoyed the pool area, the water slides, the beautiful surroundings and all the fun activities the area has to offer, we’re hoping to go back again next year, it was so fun, definitely a highlight of our summer! The hotel staff was wonderful and kind, especially when my son ended up breaking his arm while on a bike ride in the area and had to go to the hospital in Invermere for x-rays and to get a cast the morning when we were supposed to check out. The hotel staff understood our situation and was very graceful in allowing us to check out later than the usual time given that we had to go to urgent care that morning. Thank you for being so accommodating and understanding!

This was our second stay at Panorama Mountain Resort but our first stay at The Approach Hotel. We stayed for 3 nights in July and used the location as a pit stop for trips out to other areas such as Golden and Lussier Hot Springs. We thoroughly enjoyed the heated pool and hot tubs, but really wished they would allow access later than 10:00 pm as the sun was just going down and we would have loved to continue relaxing in the peaceful scenery under the stars. The Approach is a self-serve type stay and we did not mind this in the least. More towels or other requests were easily placed with the main check in. The only snag we hit was calling T-Bar & Grill to order takeout - the phone was never answered so we had to walk over, order and then wait for food. Still not a big deal and the food was very good! The rooms were very nicely refinished, modern and clean and we appreciated that the toiletries in the shower were in locked dispensers instead of bottles that could possibly be tampered with. Such a great stay in an incredibly beautiful area - we will be back soon!

Ski slopes were very close, Approach Hotel.is right near one of the main chairlifts which was very convenient. What was not convenient was the wxcessive noise every night in the corridors and in the stairwell of the hotel, and the techno rave music coming from the T-Bar pub next door.The thumping bass continued till 2am in the morning. Staff were hard to find to voice my concerns about this, and the noise continued every night into the early hours which ruined what was otherwise a great trip.

Hotel was in poor condition- very old, not clean, very thin towels in the bathrooms, all that was provided in the bathroom was a bar of soap. Walls are paper thin- could hear every noise throughout the hotel (they did have ear plugs in the room). Only good thing was the location.

I had to leave early because I had food poisoning. I asked for a refund, and they refused to refund me my one night. The section I was staying in didn’t have an elevator, so I had to carry my suitcase up multiple flights of stairs when I wasn’t feeling good. The room didn’t have any air conditioning, which intensified my nausea. I had no choice, but to leave and go home. The distance from the building, and the parking lot was quite a bit. I didn’t feel safe, carrying my luggage at night and in the early morning. I would never suggest this hotel to anyone.

Location is excellent, bike storage is great, just bring your lock. The room had a fan but was not enough to circulate air in the room, so was a bit too hot. The mattress are not confortable, you will sink into a hole. Also, it is a better deal booking directly with Pano if you plan to use the attraction there to get discounts! They will not offer discount if you booked with 3rd party like Hotels.com
