The property was clean, bathroom was updated, however the shower was VERY slow to drain. Didn't like being in a pool of water while I showered. There was a small fridge and microwave. It was just an overnight visit for us but it would have been nice to have some coffee in the room for the morning or at least a cup for instant coffee. No complimentary shampoo, conditioner or soap, be sure to BYO. Bare minimums, was pretty pricey for our one night stay, to be expected for the holiday I guess. Check in was quick staff was friendly. Overall the stay was okay.

I am so sorry your drain was slow. Do you recall your room number so we can clear it.

The location is great! Really close to restaurants and ski resorts. Found two giant bed bugs in the original room we booked. Luckily we were able to switch rooms with no hassle.
