Mountain Creek Lodge — Hotel in Hinton

Not good. I didn't go in the lodges, but i did ride the tram. It got stuck on my way back up to the top of the mountain. It was in the middle of the summer and it was hot. It took about 30 minutes for the workers to do something, the ended up sending someone named Matt to the top of the towers and fix the cables. In my one hour experience i got to see the writing scratched inside of my trams windows. My favorites included the words "I like crack" and "butt sex". I'm not kidding. This is not appropriate.
