satisfactory experience

central location great location clean rooms clean room wide range wide range negative impact negative impact burn marks visible burn towel issue towel issue
the location was central. clean , well kept rooms existed. the breakfast included a wide range of options , which i appreciated. the staff were friendly and accommodating to all guests.
one receptionist had a negative impact on my stay. the person dismissed my questions about the ski lifts. i also found a towel with visible burn marks , which was not great. the receptionist told me to take the towel back to the room and leave it on the floor , which i found inappropriate.

Wonderful Central Stay

central location wide variety friendly service efficient maintenance
The hotel's central location made access to main attractions very easy. The breakfast offered a wide variety of food each morning. The staff at reception and in the restaurant provided excellent, friendly service. Daily room maintenance was thorough and efficient. Everything remained neat and clean (I was very grateful!).
The lack of a coffee maker in the room was slightly inconvenient.
