Top Explorer Express Hotel Reviews

The Vintage Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"McKenzie and the team are on point when we arrive, the staff is friendly and always welcoming. They are pet friendly with a small fee, but every penny worth it for our pup. Stayed 3 weekends in a row and everytime was the absolute best."

Fraser Crossing Founders Pointe

10/10 Excellent

"This is the 2nd time we have stayed here but the first to come in October in between seasons. We loved it even though everything was closed across the street in the village. We liked the quiet and less people. The jacuzzi is large and fabulous…one of our favorite things about this property. The got a studio this time….the bed was comfortable and we liked having a couch to sit on to watch tv. The water pressure was low but we dealt with it. Close to town with great restaurants. Took Corona Pass all the way to the top of Rollins Pass and enjoyed the beautiful view. We love staying here and will be back of course."

Winter Park Place #1 3 bed, pet friendly, great river views, walk to WP resort

10/10 Excellent

"The condo was spacious and comfortable. It has great views of the creek in the back. The unit has 3 different balconies. I wish the outside space would have more comfortable furniture, but that was our only complaint. The condo building was quiet. It is nicely located near the ski mountain and there are lots of good hiking close by."

A Frame Club

8/10 Good

"Clean and comfortable. Great location, close to action. Super cute. Moose wandered through the property while we were there! The reasons it didn’t get 5 stars: -Breakfast was odd. Pre built burritos, grab and go, for one hour. Tasty, but just odd. -Staff repeatedly told us the restaurant was open for dinner. We sat there for 10 minutes without being acknowledged by anyone. So we left. -No bathroom fan."
