great locationhelpful staffpoor layoutkey lock
location is near to gondola. the staff were helpful to me. breakfast had lots of choice.
the hotel layout is not thoughtful. it was quicker walking outside to get to the spa and restaurant. the room only have a key lock, so you have to lock the room at night. this isn't fire safe.

I appreciated the superb location, so close to the main lift. the staff were friendly and helpful! the facilities were excellent. I especially liked the pool. there was plenty of parking on the street.
the room felt very small. the beds were not very comfortable. the furniture seemed old, and the windows did not close very well letting in cold air.
