Just for hill accommodation the price is incredible. The stop was really friendly. Yes it’s an older building but after skiing if you’re just looking for a comfy bed to sleep in and to wake up and to literally walk 100 m to the lift, this is the place.

Stayed at this hotel for a night, and let’s just say it was an experience. The beds were so firm I’m pretty sure I could’ve slept on the floor and had the same effect. The pillows, on the other hand, were so soft they practically disappeared when I laid my head down. As a bonus, the appliances were all unplugged when we arrived—guess they wanted to give us the full scavenger hunt experience. Oh, and the musty smell? Definitely added to the ambiance. Would I recommend it? Only if you’re into adventure. That being said, it’s exactly what we paid for with the price. Would stay here again.

Bathrooms in rough shape, ours had mold and rot. Hot tub was not working, which was the reason we chose this hotel. Breakfast was toast and yogurt. Room was clean and mostly updated. Not a bad option for a cheap, short stay

Not worth the convenience

For a non-smoking facility, the room smelled of smoke. The bed linens are more ivory than white. The mattresses are very firm without any pillow topper so you can feel the springs. The window/AC unit is very drafty so sitting at the table you will have cold feet. The walls between rooms are not well insulated if at all. You will hear your neighbour turn on the shower as the water sound through the pipes will shatter your sleep. The bathroom is typical of hotels that have maintenance done by DIY amateurs. However, the toilet has incredible flush power. If your intention is to be right on the hill for easy access skiing, I would recommend staying at a more comfortable hotel in town and taking the free shuttle or driving the 10 minutes to park for free. It is worth the extra hassle.
