It was a lovely stay. Initially I worried when I saw the train go by right out side the window, but it ended up being a non issue as it was not noisy in the night.

Great price great location. Everything we needed. Only drawback was close to the train. They provide earplugs, but we found if you keep the window windows closed the noise isn’t as noticeable..

My room at Basecamp Lodge was clean and comfortable, albeit a little on the small side. I wish there was more counter space in the bathroom, and there wasn't a lot of space to maneuver around the room. On the positive side, the bed was great, the property was very quiet, and I appreciated the smart TV and strong wifi signal.

Basecamp not for us.
Advertising misled location. Didn’t like being in downtown. Check-in policy too strict with 4:00 check-in time. Minimal services available at the hotel and the TV stopped working twice.
