The hotel is conveniently located in town with great views but a bit distant from shops and restaurants. The rooms are smartly decorated but may feel a bit tight due to dark colors. The service is helpful but difficult to reach at times. The dining options are limited, but there are amenities available for purchase. Overall, a decent choice for a stay in the beautiful mountains.

The rooms had everything I needed, but the dark colors made them feel a bit cramped. The bathroom floor was cold, requiring socks or slippers.

The hotel is in a bit of an isolated location at the quieter end of the main stretch. The rooms, although needing refurbishment and lacking air conditioning, provide a first-time basic stay. The service was friendly, with staff explaining the hotel layout and offering a free bus pass, but some shouting down the corridors. The location is decent, a bit far from downtown for cold days. The dining should be part of the booking, which is a downside despite a relatively higher room rate. The facilities are average.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were spacious and had all the expected facilities, but it was challenging to get a good night's sleep due to the noise. The cleanliness and comfort were on point, although the lack of air conditioning made it overly hot at night.
Rooms

The rooms were quite spacious, clean, and quiet. The pillows were nice, and the bed was comfortable. However, it was very noisy at night, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. It was exceedingly hot at night even with the fan; air conditioning would have been more ideal.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was very nice and clean, which made me feel horrible about the hotel itself. On the bright side, the service, particularly from Alice at reception, was really friendly and helpful. The location was on the edge of town, which had its advantages, but unfortunately, the demeanor of one staff member on check-out left a bad taste. The dining was poor despite the high cost, and I managed to get my husband a fresh egg cooked, which was a plus.

The hotel had a nice ambiance with rooms that looked great in the pictures, although the cleanliness above the ventilation of the underground parking wasn't up to par. The staff was friendly and helpful, making the stay enjoyable despite a slight chlorine aroma in the room. The location, though a bit far from downtown, was nicely decorated for Christmas. The dining experience was tasty but a bit overpriced for a simple buffet breakfast. Overall, a good value for money option with some room for improvement.
