Resort at Squaw Creek by Destination Hotels and Resorts Review

The hotel rooms were clean and nice. There was one regular coffee available in a room of four people, that was disappointing. The bathrooms were clean n toiletries good, usable. The bottled water is not free so carry that. But there is fresh lemon water and glasses near the hotel lobby. The parking lot is a bit of a walk about 10 mins. But there is shortcut to walk back using the stairs between the hotel entrance n the lot. So you can drop the luggage at hotel then go and park and then walk back to the rooms. We did not use other amenities like the pool, jacuzzi.

The prices are what can be expected for a resort. Staying on the first floor in March. The first floor with this much snow doesn't allow you to walk out on property, so be mindful if you request it. Snow is a little icy/slushy because it is end of season and there hasn't been snowfall in a couple of days. Food at the resort is good and cocktails are on point. Sandy's pub and the pizza have been great. I would highly recommend making use of the kitchenette if you have one for breakfast stuffs. Two people for room service will run about $75. The Olympic sports massage was fantastic and only a little more expensive than what I would normally go out of my way for.

Attended a wedding here amongst about 6 feet of snow. Gorgeous venue wonderful food and helpful staff! We didnt stay there overnight but attended the rehearsal dinner, had drinks at the downstairs pub, and attended the wedding, cocktail hour, and reception there. They have an ice skating rink onsite in the winter, and had a bar set up in the lobby during the day which was a nice touch.

Came here for a team off site and it was really nice

The rooms, service, and amenities were excellent. The ski lift was right outside our room. The pool and jacuzzis were well-kept and warm. Every employee was friendly and helpful.

Rented a suite for the weekend. View wasnt very good because we were put on the backside of the hotel. Drinks poolside were pricey and inconsistent in quality. Food was good. Room quality wasn't as nice as it looked, leaky shower that isn't large enough for two to use. Not the best anniversary spot.

A nice resort away from the hustle and bustle of the Village. The facilities are a tad dated -- it's like a nice Sheraton. 6 different restaurants on-site. The kids menus range from $8 for in-room dining, to $13 for a baller breakfast buffet at Cascades, to the highway robbery $18 spaghetti & meatballs. The rooms with views are spectacular, while the rooms without often face an awkward side road. Staff is kind and competent. Easy ski-in, ski-out access. Plenty to do on-site, with tons of activities.

Resort was nice except for the Jacuzzis and slide at pool being closed. They need to advise their guests that some shops, restaurants and accommodations are closed still.

Food was tasty in the lodge restaurants, rooms were nicely setup for hanging all the snow gear, but the doors let in hallway noise. Overall a great stay.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and clean big rooms. The restaurant on premises has great food. Ski lift available on premises. Shuttles every half hour to the Village at Squaw. Overall great experience.

Food was delicious. Service was great. Very accommodating for special occasions. One mix up with the check is the only reason for 4 star rating.

Beautiful resort. Very nice pool, heated. Nice bike trails. Need to have rental bikes for children 5 and under. Would be nice if suites have a microwave. Great shuttle and service to Squaw Valley ski resort.

Resort is amazing, staff is friendly, food is awesome, and the golf course is a challenge for sure.

Nice swimming pools, friendly staff, super fun play area (soccer, giant chess and checkers, corn hole toss, etc) and amazing views. Short drive to lake Tahoe.

Staff is great, the valley is beautiful. Only real complaints I had were the rooms are loud and it was easy to hear neighbors and people in the halls.

Elegant and full service but they temporarily lost my group's skis.

Comfortable rooms, clean, pricey food at restaurants but this is Tahoe. Parking in the snow season is less than ideal. Bring your own shovel.

This is a beautiful resort. I do not play golf but the course has great views. Restaurant and shoping is all there. First class and you will pay for it. Enjoy

If you're website says your restaurant is open, IT SHOULD BE OPEN. Off-season or not. Wasted my time and gas only to find Montagna CLOSED. You permanently lost a potential regular customer.

Never even knew this place was here until 5050 had a tap takeover at the pub. This place looks amazing.

Beautiful place, it is nestled in the mountains with incredible views all around. Definitely worth checking out if the mountains are your thing.

Shuttle service was fantastic for skiing down to and heading back go the village!

Beautiful location. Excellent service. Very beautiful environment

Beautiful resort, enjoyed the Christmas season decorations and friendly service.

Stayed here the first weekend this place opened. Still a great spot though, as you'd expect, pricey. But ski in/ski out is pretty nice.

The beds were surprisingly comfy. The room was clean, cozy and well maintained. The atmosphere was charming and festive with lit trees, piano player in the lobby, gigantic gingerbread house displays and an ice skating rink. The pool is heated to 82 amd was being used by other patrons though I did not use it personally. Sweet Potatoes Deli serves Starbucks coffee and there are retail shops located at the resort. One downer is that valet parking was 35 a day with a substantial portion of the lot taken up by valet. We were also given a warning notice (on our car) because we were in a tow away zone. There were no markings on the ground nor signs stating we were in a tow away zone. I think better signage would be helpful, especially during the winter months. An additional plus during the ski season is there is literally a lift right outside that can take you up the mountain and you can ski down into the Squaw Valley Village on the other side. Also they note which lifts are closed in the lobby and there are free shuttles into the Village at least every half hour.

Great amenities located inside the resort. Nicely up-kept but dated rooms. Has a ski lift on resort property and a large pool for the summers. This hotel is still not walking distance to the Olympic village and Squaw valley resort

Squaw Creek is like Heaven
So beautiful with all the amenities in the world. The staff is AWESOME

Went here for a company retreat. The stuff was great, the accommodation was better than I expected and the breakfast was one of the best I ever had in a hotel!

Grate place this is my fifth visit first time in summer (spring)

A nice hotel for a nice stay. You can ski in and out to the hotel and they have rentals available for skis at the hotel.

Location is beautiful and staff is friendly however it was very expensive.

Beautiful and cozy resort. It's a pity that many restaurants and stores are closed in low season.

The drinks and view is worth the visit in itself but the nachos are amazing.

This course is a little quirky, but well worth playing. It consists of a mix of Lynx and traditional. It will test your skill of the game.

We went to a Christmas concert by the Truckee Donner Community Chorus.. beautiful place decorated for Christmas.

Resort is beautiful with plenty of activities for the family. Food is okay. Certainly not bad by any stretch though.

An amazing place in a fabulous setting with lovely helpful staff

Great hotel for family visit. Lots of activities for kids and plenty to do from the hotel.

Beautiful views, great pool, hot tubs, sauna and steam room. Very attentive staff

Beautiful property, conveniently close to Truckee and Tahoe City

Everything is nice and clean, but pricey. It's exactly what you'd expect from a nice resort.

We booked a Deluxe Queen room with forest view. Here s a comparison of the website picture vs reality. I complained with the Director of Front Office but he said that he could not move us to another room. He did not offer any apologies or any ways to compensate.

Also, be prepared to pay an extra $30 resort fee per day for the use of hotel amenities . Basically you pay extra fees for no additional services.

Poor experience. We won t return to this hotel.

We were visiting after new years and had very noisy neighbors. Inclement weather shut down the majority of squaw's resort and there was not much to do around the lodge. Staff was friendly overall, but we felt a little bit of cabin fever.

They are not able to manage international Voucher, even with all the paper done and talk to the office ahead of time... People tells you that everything is okay up to your check out!!!! They even make you think that they will take care of it in the following days, but no. Nothing was done properly!!! It's very bad...

Loved everything about it!! Great spot for a family vacation!

Great views, in house spa and restaurant. Regular shuttles to the squaw village which makes it super convenient.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The suite felt a little small, but from a functional perspective, our suite offered everything we needed and everything was in excellent condition. I like the separation from the more commercial area of the village, but also like how close it is. While I preferred to walk to the village, it is a short drive and there is convenient shuttle service as well.

When you arrive the service is excellent. The shower and tub combination was tiny and didn't drain properly .... yuck.
I Had a facial at the Spa and loved it.
We were there for a company event that we attended every year and looked forward to the location how ever the food they served the group was marginal. I would give them 2 Stars. The menu included hot dogs and at the bar in the evening they tried to serve over 300 people with only one bartender. The coffee service didn't have cream half the time.
We ate at the pub and enjoyed the food but the service was slow.
I would recommend this place for a family weekend but not for a company retreat.

Great family place. Good hiking, food, pools, s'mores, hot tubs, and incredible views.

Terriffic meeting venue that my employer used several times.

Great location, food, and drinks. Only complaint was that it was a little pricey, but everything seemed to warrant the cost.

Bring a fat wallet! Great skiing and the shops were cool too.

Large rooms but we were given one queen bed for two co-workers so one need to sleep in the couch.

The resort is absolutely breathtaking. The air is crisp and clean, and it was warm (currently April). It wasn't crowded at this time and the spa was exquisite. Highly recommend the body treatments there and to enjoy the resort even if you don't. There are shops in the resort and a restaurant, but I would be selective with what you order, food wise. Delicious chocolate cupcakes though.

It was enjoyable. Service was quick and the small talk was entertaining.

Great place to take out family, fun for all ages not to mention lots of snow fun.
We stayed in a suite had everything you needed from pots n pans to fireplace
we will be coming again for 2015 winter season.

Always fun. Enjoy the pools and the running. Great spot for corporate events

Beautiful location, wide array of top notch faculties

Clean, great service, ski in and out from the hotel, great amenities but food was a bit average. For a high class hotel, the one thing that is lacking is thier food.

The resort and scenery were beautiful! We attended a business event here and the staff was amazing!

Beautiful location, beautiful place, friendly staff, great food!

Very pretty resort. Great dining options and right next to the slopes. The jacuzzis are filled with rambunctious kids though, dedicating one of the three jacuzzis to 21 and over would be great.
