Sunchaser Villas at Fairmont - Riverview

Remote location (well away from main Sunchaser buildings) was OK for us, but charging a daily resort fee for mediocre pool and games offerings (only located at main entrance building, inaccessible to us other than by car) was usurious and unwelcome.

Worse, our promised 'shared balcony' was, in reality, a 'shared corridor' that faced a busy elevator, blocking the surrounding view.

'B' side units (not disclosed as such in advance when booking) overlook a busy parking lot, beyond which is located a town maintenance facility and small airport from which large (noisy) helicopters flew daily to fight local wildfires.

Otherwise, the unit itself was clean, well-equipped and adequate for our needs. Location facilitated easy access to the recently built 'Westside Road' legacy walking/biking trail (25 km) for daily excursions from FHS to Invermere (and back).

If possible, prior to finalizing your reservation, ensure your booking is for an 'A' side unit only in the 'Riverview' building (those with real balconies and unobstructed views) - otherwise, consider alternate options locally for accommodations.

Awesome place. We stayed in for a week. Rooms are spacious. We had view of far mountains. Too bad that the balcony has no privacy. Full kitchen, we definitely could use better quality of utensils. Furniture could use some upgrading. We're very impressed with the front desk staff. Very, very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Pool area was very clean. Outdoor hot tub was working, so was the sauna, steamroom and indoor hot tub. Pool is nice too. We had very good time.

We are here for a week. Great location. The unit is spacious. Full kitchen, that could use much better utensils. Flat TV's in the living room and bedroom. I wish the balcony was private. No brush to clean the BBQ.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. It was clean and comfortable with great views of the mountains.
