★☆☆☆☆ – Very Disappointing Experience
Our stay at Blue Mountain Village was extremely disappointing. We were a group of 12 people, including 3 children and an infant, and were assigned three separate rooms on different floors in a building where the elevator was out of service.
After checking in at the main lobby around 7:30 PM, we had to carry luggage, strollers, and belongings to another building and then use the stairs. It took nearly 4 hours to locate the rooms, receive the keys, and finally get into our rooms around 11:15 PM. By then, we had no opportunity to enjoy the pools, hot tubs, or any of the amenities we had paid for. We essentially rented the rooms just to sleep before checking out the next morning.
The front desk staff were polite, apologetic, and genuinely tried to help. They promised someone would assist with our luggage, but no one arrived for quite some time. Eventually, one staff member came, but even he needed additional help.
I appreciate that Blue Mountain refunded 50% of our stay, but considering we lost our entire evening and couldn't use any of the facilities, I believe a full refund would have been fair.
The experience was especially embarrassing because I had family visiting from the United States. I hope Blue Mountain improves its room assignment process, particularly when elevators are out of service.
