Room was great - big, clean. However it was 25°C in the room when i arrived, in December. Despite turning off the heat, opening windows, and using the provided fan, the temp went up to 28.5°C. I had a horrible sleep. In the morning I had to put the A/C on to cool it down enough to pack up and put my ski gear on without sweating buckets. Not sure I'd stay here again, even with a great price and location.

Clean room, staff were efficient. Small room to be a pet friendly room. My only complaint would be when I was trying to book the room I wanted. The rooms did not state which were pet friendly. So as it was a pet friendly hotel I chose a room I wanted and was denied it after I received confirmation on booking it. I then was told to cancel my room and choose a different one in hopes it was still available at that time.
