This is the second time we’ve stayed at Polaris, and we will have no hesitation booking again! We love staying at the ski hill, especially for events and the rooms are always clean and comfortable! I would give staff and service a five star - but it seems whenever I call (in business hours) I don’t actually get to speak to anyone, but leaving a voice mail they do get back to you!

The room was great, and the staff member that checked us in and out was very helpful and thorough.

The room was good but the area we were in was having some renovations done in the halls.

Kimberley was a cute and family friendly resort which was great, however our experience at the Polaris Lodge wasn't the best. The lodge seems to be a separate part of the trickle Creek Lodge so if you need anything, you have to walk over to the other side. This includes checking-in/front desk (staff we're amazing!) and pool/hot tub. The place was under renovation when we got there as well, so it was a bit of a mess and dusty. The temperature control didn't work so even if we had air con on, it was roasting and had to open the windows (during the winter). The rooms we're pretty nice, but there was a lack of basic amenities (blankets, kitchen stuff, dead pillows, etc.) that just put a damper on things. Pretty "meh" experience.

A Little Pricey for the Room Size

We stayed during the summer so there was NO ONE there. Given that we were the only guests we wonder why we were given a room that had the AC/heater mechanism next to the room. No Kleenex. 1 hanger in closet. Only 2 drawers for clothes. The down comforter was too hot; without it, too cool. Probably fine for skiers but don't bring much. No equipment allowed in the room.

The maid staff did not set up this room properly prior to our check in. There were only 2 hangars in the closet. There was no facial tissue in the room ( mistake corrected by desk staff). We were supposed to have coffee mugs but didn’t (another mistake corrected by desk staff on second day). The hair dryer did not work. It took until the next day to correct. The resort seemed to use Covid as an excuse to have very minimal service (none). We used our coffee pods the first day, and had to phone the next day for more. We had to enquire about garbage removal, and they told us to put it in the hallway. I must say overall, the front desk staff were excellent- they had to solve all these issues for us, and they always came through. The Polaris lodge has no ice machine. Smaller rooms do not have a fridge with a freezer. We were expecting a fairly upscale stay at a ski resort, but this was a very low grade experience. I have never had this low level of basic service either in remote tropical locations or at bargain basement chain hotels here in Canada. This is no where near getting good value for $200 per night (after tax).

Not the greatest experience.

For the price of 250 ish per night i was not entirely impressed. It was a quick 2 night stay, and i had just spent 3 nights sleeping in a tent in jasper during a long hike. So i picked this hotel for comfort. No change of towels or shampoo or soaps, no coffee, no cleaning or change of bed sheets, that with a broken bathroom shower faucet (which i made work). Only restaurant on the hill (in an ajacent building) closed at 9pm. This was not open after a long day of fishing. I should have stayed downtown at the kimberly suits. Although not as nice of rooms the amenities and closeness to options and other service would have made it worth while. Especially considering the $ in room savings.

Great for Ski In/Ski Out

This is the best Ski in/Ski Out location on the hill. The lockers are literally at the base of the hill. Unlike many vacation rentals there is no basic grocery items, for instance there is no salt, pepper, spices, oil etc. The only things there are coffee, tea, sugar, powdered creamers. The dishes were adaquate but sparse, only 3 bowls etc. Housekeeping came in daily, but it seemed all they did was replenish dishwasher tabs and toiletries. Our toilet was visibly dirty, but they did not clean it and there were no supplies there to clean it yourself.

Once we found the place, no one was here and we walked around the entire building. We tried contacting the online “email or message the manager” but there was no response nor was there a phone number to call listed on the site.

We were in town for a wedding. There are 3 resorts within 1km from each other. The Polaris resort is definitely the oldest. To our surprise the front desk was actually closed (with a paper written on the door). You have to check into the neighbouring lodge. Hallways/common areas are very outdated and carpet is stained. We tried checking in for 5:30pm (check in time was 4:00pm) and were told that our room wasn't ready yet. Waited an additional hour for our key. Front desk staff wouldn't even give us a key so we could park in underground parking. Honestly, don't waste your time on the Polaris Lodge. Spend the extra $100 and stay at the Mountain Spirit Resort which is a 2 minute walk away.

Empathy training needed

Check in was overly complicated by circle drive to Trickle Creek. Then frustrating by need to retrace drive back to Polaris. Felt like the poor relative bedded in staff quarters a safe distance from the big house where all the facilities were, even had to leave building for ice. Security around the need to not only show but to copy identification seemed excessive. Room clean and cleaning staff very good albeit had to track them down to get a waste basket. Bartender was very talented and attentive but she seemed to have been stuck with the dual roles of bartender and restaurant supervisor as she made us all aware by barking out orders and complaining about inexperienced staff. Upon arrival I could not activate the Wi-Fi. I phoned the front desk and encountered the same dreaded message centre that had annoyed me when I tried to contact the Hotel from town earlier. After going through a myriad of options had to leave a message.Same result. Wi-Fi fixed 10 minutes later by a hotel work around. On the morning of my departure I discovered that the shower was not working! At end of day my stay in this beautiful location/hotel was marred by the desk staff’s inability to simply say they were sorry for the Hotel shortcomings when made aware of them vs the indifference shown. No “Hope you have a pleasant stay” no “how was your stay”. I had to tell them about the shower as they did not ask. Most of all there was no “sorry for the inconvenience, trust we made it right."

Clean & Comfortable

We wanted to cut our road trip from Banff to Spokane in half and decided to stay in Kimberley, where we have stayed several times before. Rates were pretty high at Trickle Creek Lodge, where we have stayed before, but we noticed the Polaris Lodge, right next door, was within our price range. It was not as nice as Trickle Creek Lodge, definitely could use an update, but the room and linens were clean and the king bed was comfortable enough for our one night stay. Small fridge for items I needed to refrigerate was nice (though it didn't have a freezer section for my ice packs). Not many people were here, but the walls/ceilings seemed paper thin as we could hear voices next door or upstairs later in the evening. View of slopes and ski lifts were pretty cool. Could imagine this place in season with all the skiers; pretty convenient to everything and underground parking (with very narrow entry doors, btw) would be a plus during heavy snowfalls. Restaurant next door at Trickle Creek Lodge and hot tub and pool are available for use even if staying at the Polaris Lodge, though we didn't have enough time to take advantage of these amenities on this trip.

No signs, no ice, no staff

The room was fine but there were a couple notable issues. 1) No staff on site. All building doors were locked and I had to go let my visitors in whenever they arrived. 2) no ice machine on the premise. I had to go a different hotel to get ice 3) upon arrival for check-in the building was completely locked up and didn’t appear to be in operation. After a while walking around looking confused a local gentleman directed me to a different hotel nearby. I had to go to this hotel to check-in to my hotel. There were no signs posted on the premises telling me this. Finally, when I arrived at the other hotel to check-in to my hotel there was no staff at that desk either. Just a sign saying “be back soon”. Anyway, the staff member did arrive before long and all was good after that.

Room was great. Very clean, quiet and new. Only disappointing point was that check-in was at a different lodge. We had no idea until someone at the bar downstairs told us check-in was a lodge over. Would have been nice to now this so there was no running around carrying our luggage.

Great location right at the lift. They seemed a bit understaffed...we made some housekeeping requests that took too long to be remedied.

It was hard having to trek over to trickle lodge to check in and out and use the hot tubs. Not much to choose from in the way of food

Some general up keep needed in units. Tightening cupboard knobs etc. Otherwise great stay and location. Ideal ski in out location.

Fridge was squealing badly the first night so I unplugged it and had a better sleep the second night. Check in was a little awkward with no lobby or reception in this lodge and having to find the other lodge to check in.

Facility is quite old - in need of modernization - especially lighting. It was very dark in the room. The check-in service in the facility was closed with poor directions as to the alternate check-in location.

Nice one-bedroom condo unit close to the restaurants and ski lifts at Kimberley Alpine Village. Staff very accommodating. Great for this destination, but beyond walking distance to the restaurants and shops of the Kimberley Bavarian Village. Good value.

Good room bad communication

We stayed 2 nights the room was clean and this was the only good thing . The air conditioning in the room was so loud you could not use it at night . On the first day we got up to no power . They never said anything to us about the power being off at check in although it was a scheduled power outage. The hotel food was super over priced for what you got go in to town there is better food there .

Great location, terrible beds

This was an amazing location, and the room was spacious,however though the description said Mountain View we looked out at a dirt parking lot. The king size bed which was described as a queen was actually two twin mattress put together 😩 our 15 year old son stayed on the pull out and it was dingy, slanted downwards and you could feel every spring in the thin mattress. We were happy we were there for only one night. Staff was super friendly.

Enjoying BC getaways

I feel that we should of been informed that there really wasn’t anything open after 8:00 pm the room was fine,,but none of the amenities were,, having to trek over to another hotel if we wanted to get a drink from a vending machine to using the pool or hot tub was not what we imagined,, under communication I rated good, only because the personal at the front desk was very polite and lovely.

Not quite a hotel

If you understand this is a ski lodge, not a hotel, everything else falls into place No street number for an address, more difficult for GPS I arrived after dark, no sign saying this is the Polaris Hotel. Had to find the front desk, which is actually shared with a sister hotel almost a block's walk away. Sure glad it wasn't raining No sign of life in the building that actually was the Polaris hotel. Room was smaller than a standard hotel, one bed, one desk, one chair for the desk. Mp upholstered chair or couch. However the place was clean, underground parking was available. price was good. I'd stay again.

Very nice summer stay

The Polaris Lodge met all our expectations and was a great value for summer. Very friendly and helpful staff. The onsite restaurant was excellent for dinner (just wish it was open for breakfast).

Great stay. Amazing location right at the base of the ski lift. Spacious room, comfortable bed, friendly staff. Great apres ski band at the Stemwinder, and delicious dinner at the Trickle Creek Restaurant whose name escapes me at the moment. Ski lockers are handy, as was the heated underground parking. We also enjoyed using the hot tub over at Trickle Creek. The only thing that is less than perfect is the soundproofing, but our next door neighbors quieted down at a respectable time so we all got a good night's sleep. I would totally stay here again.

Very nice!

We were extremely pleased with our three night stay at Polaris Lodge. It's a true ski in and out property, with a convenient ski locker with plenty of room. The room was clean and comfortable. Everyone we encountered there was friendly and nice. Our vacation was perfect in every way.

The rooms with the hill view are big and clean but they are extremely loud since they are above the bar and you can aslo hear the guest of the room next open and closw their doors. Also, the mattress could be change to newer

Would not recommend.

I would not recommend this hotel for many reasons. We request a king size bed. Ended up with 2 single beds pushed together. They where Extremely hard and uncomfortable, had to worst sleep of our lives over 3 nights. Considering this hotel is close to the ski hill it's not equipped to be able to hang any of your wet jackets/ski pants/gloves. Some hooks would be nice. The walls are paper thin, so you hear everything your neighbors are doing. No matter what the time and we where woken up several times during the night. Shower had no pressure what so ever! This hotel is run down and old and could use a major face lift. The only one thing we enjoyed about this hotel was the under ground parking and the convince of the ski hill right outside the door. I will never book here again.

Nice Hotel. Great location. Needs some repair

This is the perfect place to stay for your ski vacation. However there were a few things that could be improved. The hot tub wasn't working, nor the toaster or coffee maker in the room. We only stayed 1 night, so no big deal but hot tub not working disappoint the kids.

Worst sleep ever

The hide-a-bed was the most uncomfortable thing ever.
