Anita, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Stayed for four days in July. The breakfast, bar and staff are great. Reception is very helpful. The views are fabulous. The room was very hot at night as there is no air conditioning and I thought the way to the pool via the shower area was probably a bit risky regards slips on the wet floor. The hotel is in a perfect location and overall very nice and I’d stay here again for sure.
Caroline, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

We stayed at this hotel 3 years ago and really enjoyed it. This time, our room felt very tired. It was much smaller (not sure why)… the number on the outside of the door was even handwritten on the wall because the ski that normally displayed the numbers had fallen off. I like the idea of this hotel and it is very convenient to so many things…. They just need to make sure all of their rooms are on the same page.

It was great! The vibe, the decor, areas within the property. Breakfast a must have. The minus is the shower, small, very small, but not enough to change my opinion that is a place to stay.
Marcelo, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Unique hotel where modern decor meets historic building just up hill from town and easy walk to restaurants. IMO the modern decor doesn’t work but love location and mtn views were stunning. Our 2 bdrm suit was spacious and clean and comfortable. Staff was great except for the first woman at check in who was extremely rude. Another staff member took over for her and apologized but it was shockingly poor behavior for customer service industry. Pool was quite nice but not impressed by breakfast buffet.

8/10 Good

This is a beautiful property and a very good location with interesting and appealing interior design. There seems to be a lot of activities going on throughout this large resort hotel. However the staff we're less than accommodating on check-in and made us wait until 4:00 p.m. when we were pretty certain that rooms were available sooner despite our Platinum status with Expedia. The breakfast buffet was good. Also we had a bit of construction noise nearby but overall a great stay
