convenient stay with great views

modern room comfy bed great shower
the on-site restaurant was very convenient. the room was clean and modern, a definite plus for me. i really appreciated the large and comfy bed, especially after a long day of travel. the bathroom also was large and had a great shower.
there was no lift to the second floor. this was a bit inconvenient as i had to carry my luggage up the stairs.

the on-site dining offered convenient options after long days. the chamois restaurant provided meals, though i observed a self-service setup with guests collecting their orders. seating areas were available for enjoying the meals.

i stayed in a motel studio. the room had everything i needed for one night. the check in and check out process was smooth. it was easy as i could stay right in the village among the snow.
i could hear every step from the guests directly above. these rooms are not soundproofed. the walls and ceilings are paper thin. you hear every corridor conversation by guests arriving or leaving.
