First Tracks Lodge is a solid option for Creekside lodging. There were no surprises, either on the positive or negative side. Our pre-arrival communication with the management company was stellar. We needed to slightly alter our travel plans by a day due to unforeseen circumstances, and since they had availability on either side they were able to do so seamlessly. We actually were subtracting a weekend day and adding a weekday (online there was a price savings of a little bit), but we were kept at the same rate. Not a big deal at all, since they accomodated us easily.
We were driving up early am, skiing, and then checking in. I stopped at the check in location at around 9am to pick up a temp parking pass, as suggested by the lodging reservations when I made our change. The kid at check in could not have been more distant. He didn't want to spend a minute talking to me, even though I was the only person in the lobby. He gave me the temp parking key and dissapeared before I could ask another question or two. When we arrived back to check in after skiing (around 3 pm), he was still there and still as unhelpful. He checked on our room, and said something I've never heard anyone say... "Housekeeping is still in there. The previous guests really left it a mess. Trashed the place. It'll be a while." Check in is 4, so I completely understood the possibility of it not being ready an hour prior. But that was a bit of sharing! I started to walk out, and another receptionist chased me as I was approaching the door. She offered to check me in so that I could wait at First Tracks and be handed the key by the concierge on duty when ready. The first guy could have done this, but he clearly didn't care about customer service or his job. This was really my only complaint- the front facing employees at Legends check in. Two male employees who clearly didn't care about customer service.
Anyway, our 2 bedroom was just fine. Good space, relatively comfortable beds. I would compare the interior to a nicer Marriott vacation club space. Nothing fancy, not "upscale", but nice quality and comfortable. Our unit had 27" tvs. Who has 27" tvs in 2017? That was a bit of a bummer, as we enjoy a movie in the afternoon after skiing and before dinner. Bathrooms were just so-so. Lower-grade tray showers with standard glass enclosure that was difficult to close without splashing water outside- very tiny. Kitchen was good, with the exception of the fact that there was no measuring cup.
Housekeeping was efficient when they came. Two days they did not show up until close to 4, at which point we were occupying the space and just asked for towels. One of those days, I asked them to remove towels and she indicated she would do it tomorrow- just leaving us with fresh ones. A bit strange.
Most of these are a little nitpicky. This place could be 5 stars. Location is exceptional to the gondola, and the guts of the units and building are first rate. I literally did not hear another person the whole vacation, and it was booked solid. Phenomenally quiet. If the interior spaces were held to a BIT higher standard, there was more care taken to either training or hiring happier and more engaged staff at Legends, and small details were fixed in the units (tvs, kitchen utensils, etc), I'd be thrilled to stay here often. As is, it's a nice option. You won't be blown away, but you'll be comfortable.
