The Josie Hotel Autograph Collection, Rossland

Great brand new hotel. Highly...

Liked: It's a brand new, well-designed hotel with spacious and spotlessly clean rooms. The beds are comfy, and the Wi-Fi is fast and stable. We enjoyed our stay here and will definitely stay again. The front desk staff (sorry, didn't catch the guy's name) was very helpful. Highly recommended
Disliked: The buffet breakfast was meager. The last 100 meters of the road to the hotel was not paved due to ongoing construction nearby.

Great location for outdoor activities...

Liked: The facility was great and so were the staff especially Phillip at the front desk. He was very knowledgeable and had all the answers to our questions. The bedroom was very comfortable and spacious and well appointed with a mini fridge. The Josie was about a 5 minute drive to town (Rossland, BC) which was very convenient when we didn't eat at the hotel. All of the food we ate at the hotel was excellent both at breakfast and dinner. If you ski, you are right at the base of the lifts. If you're a hiker there are trails everywhere, but be aware there are a lot of joint use hike/bike trails and downhill bikes may come at you at the speed of heat so be aware of your surroundings so you don't get hit by a bike flying through the air on a jump. Not all trails are marked "bike" only. If you are hiking down from Red Mountain on the steep east trail, the bikes can't always see you in their jumps.
Disliked: Although the food was excellent we thought it was overpriced compared to other restaurants in the area. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet of the off season, but dinner choices were limited and a bar food menu was not available as it is during the regular season. There is a lot of construction taking place so parking could be difficult if you arrive late and may require some walking. There are huge constructions trucks moving up and down the ski resort so be aware of their routes. It was not obvious where the hotel was located when we first arrived but I had seen the picture of the hotel online so I recognized the building. However, you have to drive through a construction zone to get to the check in lobby. On your way out there is a sign that says "Do Not Enter", however it is the only way out. The other option is a dead end.

We love it here. Had...

Liked: Beautiful location. Exceptional restaurant. Super clean. Friendly.
Disliked: Nothing. Although coffee in the lobby would be so nice before and after hiking.

Very good

Liked: Staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The room was very nicely completed and designed, simple and effective.
Disliked: The signage to find the hotel was poorly identified, with little information about how to manage driving around the construction. Outside parking was not very accessible and easy to use. Food was overpriced, but not unexpected as it is a ski resort.
