Excellent Stay with Great Location

This hotel is in a convenient location. The ski bus stops right in front of the building. I found ski lockers available. The staff was very friendly and accommodating!

The limited variety at breakfast was a bit repetitive each morning, with nothing particularly local offered.

good locationmisleading descriptionsmall room

the location was acceptable, being near the bus stop.

The room description was misleading. I booked a family suite with mountain views, but seeing mountains required standing on tippy toes in the corner. this "suite" had two rooms, one was too small to relax in, this seemed like low quality accommodation.
