Location
Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The location was ideal for skiers with a shuttle bus available to the ski hill, although it was a bit of a trek down a hill. The rooms were spacious and modern with a separate bedroom, but the steep hill up to the hotel might be challenging for some. The service was excellent with convenient laundry facilities available. The dining options were limited to western dishes but served well. Overall, great value for money with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel offers a mix of positives like a comfortable and clean room with a kitchenette and a Jacuzzi tub, but the steep uphill location might be challenging for some. Service is good overall with laundry service available. The dining experience needs improvement, but the facilities are modern and well-maintained.
This hotel had some great highlights, like the spacious rooms with a kitchenette and Jacuzzi tub, but had a few drawbacks like the steep hill location. The service was top-notch, and the dining options were satisfying. The facilities provided a comfortable stay overall.
