Cahilty Hotel & Suites

The location and lodge were great and well maintained. The desk and cabinets in our room were dated and not functional. The fridge, microwave and coffee maker were stacked on the desk, and there were only 2 plugs for 3 appliances. The kettle was in the closet and we had to make coffee/tea in the bathroom. More accessible plugs for charging devices would also have been appreciated.

We absolutely love the location and the ability to ski and ski out. Also, lots of restaurants within walking distance.

Walkable distance to ski lifts, restaurants, center. The room was too small for four people. Hot tub is one and always busy. Ski room doesn’t have boots storage/warmer.Parking is for a fee and not free as advertised. Generally pretty satisfied with a stay but kind of expensive.

Pleasant staff,large rooms,great location for skiin and out

Cahilty is great for convenience. The walls are thin so if you are visiting with others it is not the best

Rooms were efficient and clean. we were pleased at how well it accommodated our family and friends.

If you want to stay where kids are constantly running through the halls yelling and their parents doing nothing then this is your place to stay. Nobody expects kids to be silent and I dont blame them; I blame their parents who seem to all have a skin full of booze and simply dont care what their kids get up to as long as they let them go on with their drinking. I have stayed in more hotels and apar**ents than I care to remember and this is the only time I have ever experienced this level of total disarray. Aside from that, the hotel is nice, room is fine, and location is good; but not worth putting up with the culture of parents staying here.

Great ski in and out properly. The hotel staff were knowledgeable and helpful in every way. First time to Sun Peaks and loved it.

The Cahilty is a ski in/out hotel conveniently located in Sun Peaks resort. Ski down the hill, take your skis off and walk into the restaurant or the secure boot room. The hotel itself is about 30 years old. Guests wear ski boots to and from their rooms so the hotel is a bit dated in both decor and design and the woodwork is showing signs of heavy use over the years. The hotel is kept in good repair and there was nothing obviously broken/missing/needing replacement. Abundant towels, comfortable beds, heating works plus tea and a coffee machine in the rooms. I feel the Cahilty is tidy rather than clean. Whilst it certainly wasn’t grubby and there was not any litter or mess in evidence, I did find a dirty sock from a previous occupant and a plastic food wrapper under my bed. I didn’t venture any further. Funny yes, but maids who cannot be bothered to vacuum under the bed makes you start wondering what other shortcuts might have been made and not in a good way... The staff were all very friendly and helpful at check in, check out and at any time guests needed help during their stay in resort. Noise; if you are “sensitive to noise” then best book elsewhere. Soundproofing is poor (non-existent?) so conversations can be heard very clearly from people in the hallway or in the next room. So if the other guests are particularly loud then it will sound like they are in the room with you. Didn’t bother me much but it did bother some other guests who presumably were not aware before booking. The bar/restaurant (ski in/out) looks out over the pistes with a sunny terrace area to chill out when warm enough. The bar had a good selection of beers, wines, long drinks. Happy Hour 3-5pm. Food was fine; snacks or a meal. Inside there were big screen TVs to see various sports (it’s Canada so there will be hockey, live or recorded, on at least one of the TVs!) Prices are reasonable and the service is friendly. The skiing itself in Sun Peaks was very good. Snow conditions great, pistes maintained, signage so-so but no queues to speak. Canadians love to chat on the ride up and at the bottom argue that somebody else should go first before them. Just like in France, not! However, lifts. Sun Peaks Management Company runs the new lifts slower than their rating and some of the old lifts are so slow that it makes certain areas almost unskiable. (Who wants to sit 26minutes on a chair to gain only 800m vertical?!? It really feels like you could walk faster.) This is very unfortunate because this area has such great potential. Locals tell me that Sun Peaks is run as a Far Eastern property development company that happens to have ski lifts in the middle. Say no more. Anyway these niggly issues aside I’d definitely go back to both the Cahilty and Sun Peaks. We had a fantastic trip and there’s nothing to suggest we wouldn’t next time either! BTW Nancy still does resort tours a couple times a week, so make sure you join in if you are able. Not often you get a chance to say you've s
