Clean rooms, great service, really good breakfast, great staff, and a great floor show. The bar was a fun scene. Dated rooms with funky lighting. One thing to be aware of is that not all rooms have a ski locker associated with the room. Location is great. Easy to get up the hill or to walk to town. We had to ask for a safe to be installed— was done before we finished breakfast—super responsive. Worth the money.

Very loud music played in the lobby every night. I had to move rooms - thankfully one was available although lower grade. WiFi is over loaded at evenings. Unusable. Sauna looks like a ymca and the pool is cold (26c). Good location but over priced
