Our experience at Silver Star was greatly enhanced by the exceptional service of the staff at Vance Creek Hotel & Conference Centre. We stayed in the exquisite Amaroo House which is expertly managed by Vance Ck. I would highly recommend using their service for any type of stay on the mountain.

Great kitchenette suite for a midweek ski holiday for a couple . Vance Creek Hotel has refurbished suites which provided us a good base for 4 days downhill and nordic skiiing . We had everything we needed to enjoy cooking our meals in our suite - 3 counter bar stools. One suite would be adequate for maximum 3 people privacy as bedroom has 2 queen beds and pullout bed couch . We liked walking around the Village bars restaurants apres ski . Dishwasher coffe microwave stove full refrigerator and access to outdoor hot tub . Great place when you don’t have a large group to rent one of the BIG houses on the hill. I’d definitely return . Thanks Vance Creek .

We stayed one week at the Chilcott Lodge Hotel at the Silver Star Resort, BC. Hotel staff were extremely kind and helpful. Russell, hotel manager, went out of his way to drive into town of Vernon to pick up medication at a local pharmacy for my husband. He wouldn't accept a tip. Just gave me a smile, a friendly wave, and then hurried off to help other hotel guests. I was very impressed with the outstanding customer service we received at the Chilcott Lodge. Russell and Sally, among others made our ski holiday a 5/5 star⭐ experience! We'd love to return one day.

Really comfortable, all the amenities you need (ski lockers / hot tub especially useful ), and super staff. Also based close to the middle of the village and very handy to Bugaboos Bakery for the all important coffee and cinnamon bun fix before you hit the slopes. Loved it.

We came on a ski vacation. I would only rate the hotel as "Okay". If you came here for something other than skiing, you might give it a higher rating. In general, the hotel is okay. Decor is a little dated. Staff are quite helpful and friendly. And you are right on the hill and about 5 - 10 minutes walk from the nearest lift. And the room had a reasonable kitchen which allowed us to skip dining out for every meal. On the minus side . . . I noticed the shower curtain rod in our washroom was a bit loose. It wasn't about to fall down. But I reported it to the desk anyway. Handyman showed up within a few hours. What stood out, however, was that the shower curtain rod had been attached with screws directly into the drywall. If you want the screws to, y'know, "stay in" you really need to use plastic anchors. These are quite inexpensive. But whoever put these screws in, either was in too much of a hurry, or didn't know how to do it properly (and yes, this is pretty basic). All this isn't a big deal, but it sets the mind a'wandering . . . However, my biggest complaints are about the lack of an elevator in the building and lack of a ski storage locker on the ground floor. The lack of an elevator meant we had to lug our luggage and skis up a flight of stairs to get to the 3rd floor. As for the ski storage locker, there is a locker available "on each floor". Although it allows you to store your skis outside your room, we were faced with lugging our skis up and down three flights of stairs each day. So the "storage locker" wasn't really of much use. Every other hotel we've ever stayed at on ski trips have had the ski lockers ON THE GROUND FLOOR. So this isn't a new concept. But I guess the layout of the building couldn't accommodate this. Anyway, aside from these limitations (which you can decide if you want to put up with) it isn't a bad hotel.

Stayed in a pet friendly one-bedroom room with two queens & a fold out couch. With ski gear, this room is perfect for four, a little tight with five but it worked. Plenty of shelf and storage space throughout. Kitchen was great, and as others have mentioned, had all the equipment that we needed to make breakfasts, lunches and a couple of dinners during our stay. Walls are a bit on the thinner side, so you can hear voices and ski boots clomping in the hallways, but we were here to ski, so that didn't bother us. Hallway doors to the lobby and restaurant are closed every evening so that the sound doesn't travel. All this made it extra problematic when our two-year-old goldendoodle decided that this was the family vacation to develop separation anxiety and mid-way though day one, to fuss whenever we left her alone in her pen. I absolutely cannot say enough about the fantastic front desk staff who not only called us when she started making noise, but went out of their way to help us both trial and error ideas to calm her down and to find solutions to save our ski time, all while making sure our goofball wasn't adversely impacting the stay of others. In the end, we had a fantastic vacation and it is exactly because of these great people. Will most certainly stay here again (although in our case, perhaps with one less family member...)

This is a great hotel; very simple and basic, but clean and well appointed and had everything we needed. Very nice and comfy beds with lovely white linens and a nice size mini fridge and coffee maker. I would definitely stay here again, it was a very good value! Totally not the hotel's fault, but there was absolutely no night time activities when we were there. So, will definitely be giving Silver Star a pass during future Spring Breaks. I mean, it's Spring Break and there's nothing? No live music, no trivia, no karaoke. Nada. Zero going on in the evenings and any of the bars (and there are at least 4 of them), so that was really disappointing. When we asked people why, they tended to have the attitude like "Oh, well, it's end of season, so..." Was super frustrating. You'd think that a ski resort would have a lot of stuff going on during Spring Break, but I guess not?

This was about our 3rd or 4th time staying in the Vance Creek part of this Hotel.. Location is excellent - ski in, ski out. Kitchen is well equipped. Bathroom, bedding and kitchen have been updated since our last stay in Vance. I prefer to stay in the Chilcoot Lodge building - We've stayed in Chilcoot 5 or 6 times - Chilcoot is similarly well equipped, but it has a full dining room table which seats 6, whereas the Vance Creek builing units just have a kitchen bar with 3 stools. Chilcoot also has a fireplace - not crucial, but very nice. But for this trip, we booked too late and Chilcoot was completely full for our dates, so we went with Vance Creek. Vance and Chilcoot each have their own outdoor hottubs on the roof- very nice! Staff is great.

Our first time to Silverstar and the Vance Creek. The staff was great and anything I asked for they delivered. If it wasn't them fitting us into another buildings hot tub or storing our luggage while we skied on the last day it was their politeness and aim to please. Made a great trip even more enjoyable and we will definetly come back.

Two of us had a one-bedroom (2-bed) suite for a week at Chilcoot Lodge booked and paid for. We were surprised when we went to the “suite” on arrival to find it was simply a cramped 2-bed bedroom, just a kettle and microwave — no kitchen, no full-sized fridge, no stove, no dining and living areas as promised (and paid for). On returning to the reception, the manager (Stephanie) made it clear she knew exactly what accommodation she had just put us in and said she had no suites available at the Lodge. How, I wonder, did she think we were going to prepare and eat our meals with no kitchen, no cooking and dining things, etc.? Were we just supposed to pitch out all our groceries and head to the restaurants in the village for every meal? I understand mix-ups and errors happen. But Stephanie took the experience to a new level. There was no apology, no acceptance of responsibility, no “we messed up”! In fact, she tried to somehow turn the blame back on us and our ski club. Initially she said she might be able to find some alternative accommodation on the periphery of the resort, but it would entail a long walk or taking a shuttle back-and-forth to The Village and Chilcoot Lodge where the rest of our group was staying. She then withdrew into her office and kept us waiting in the lobby for 2.5 hours. Through all this, there was no indication she had any thought of rectifying the situation. After 2.5 hours, she sent her assistant on the reception, James, out with the keys for a suite that while not exactly what we had booked and paid for, at least came a lot closer than the cramped bedroom she had originally expected us to take. My advice for the people at the top of Vance Creek Property Management who manage the Chilcoot Lodge would be: --It might help to understand that when you accept a reservation and full payment for a particular accommodation option, it comes with a responsibility to provide it. --Maybe think about hiring individuals to manage the reservations/reception function whose natural disposition is to honour the responsibilities above and to do so with enthusiasm and a smile. There was one bright spot in this whole unfortunate experience. The two young assistants on the reception, James and Matt, were very helpful and understanding. And as a post-script, two days after the check in, Russell Haubrich, the General Manager of Vance Creek, met me to debrief on our experience. He seemed to understand that what we had been put through was not acceptable. And he offered to buy us a dinner in one of their restaurants — a nice gesture, that we appreciated – even though in the end we did not take him up on it. Let’s hope Vance Creek finds a way to make sure future guests don’t have a similar experience to ours.
