Wonderful Stay on the Mountain!

suite view perfect balcony strong wifi

I stayed in a one bedroom suite. It faced the ski hill. The balcony made a perfect place to enjoy morning coffee. The room included a stove, oven, coffee maker, washer, and dryer. The WiFi worked very strong.

I found no internal shelves in the fridge. This made stacking items difficult.

Dining

I knew this hotel offers frozen food for microwave preparation. I think the restaurant or cafe has limited hours. It appears they do not have a restaurant operating.

Location

The hotel sits on the mountain top. This location is about 12km out of town. This hotel is close to ski areas. It had lovely views from the rooms.

Service

The manager went out his way for me to have everything needed. I found the staff pleasant. They gave great suggestions for places in town. I also liked dealing with them on the phone.
