amazing location bus station efficient design dirty glasses missing fridge hot temperature

the location was AMAZING! i was right across the street from the main bus station that goes to all of the ski areas. i had only a very short walk to the main pedestrian area where all the bars and restaurants were. the rooms were efficiently designed.

housekeeping didn't clean glasses, nor did they replenish paper cups and coffee and tea after i used them. i stayed there for 3 nights. the place got hot during the summer! there wasn't a fridge in the room to cool down drinks, unfortunately.

convenient location ski lockers coffee replenishment no fridge

The hotel's location was convenient (it made getting around so easy). The bus stop was just outside, and the city center was only a short walk. I also appreciated the availability of ski lockers, even though I did not utilize them this trip.

The housekeeping did not replenish coffee or tea after they were used. there was no fridge in the room, made cooling drinks difficult.
