Great stay in a convenient location
My partner and I had a fantastic stay at the Blue Jay Lodge. The check-in process was smooth and the keypad locks were especially convenient (no room card necessary). The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. Most importantly, the lodge is walking distance to Heavenly Village so if you can avoid having to pay the newly implemented parking fees if you plan to ski.

Something a little different.
The Blue Jay lodge was a really nice clean facility, but it was different than most motels in the area. It's something of a motel/airbnb hybrid. There is no one there to check you in, you are sent the room number of combination an hour before you arrive, and it's all very hands off. This works for me, but it's something I didn't understand before booking. It's a little farther away from the village than the places I normally stay but still close. I will definitely consider it again in the future.
