average stay with a few hiccups

cramped roomuncomfortable air conditioning
The room i booked turned out smaller than expected. It felt quite cramped. the air conditioning was also positioned directly opposite the bed. it made for an uncomfortable night as it blasted cold air straight at me. i wish they had thought more about the layout.

excellent experience

convenient locationfree shuttlelaundry facilitiesnoise level
I appreciated the convenient location with easy access to the city center by car (it made exploring the area stress-free). the free shuttle service was a significant bonus. i found the laundry facilities particularly useful. Having clothes lines on the balcony was very convenient for drying clothes.
the restaurant was a bit noisy early in the evening. it was sometimes difficult to have a conversation. i think some soundproofing could help to improve the ambiance.

Solid Choice for My Getaway

tasty breakfastnumerous optionmountain panoramahigh dispenser
I found the location very good. Breakfast options are numerous and tasty. The view from the pool offers a panorama of white mountains, which I did enjoy. The reception responded to every question very fast.
I found that soap dispensers were located quite high up in the bathroom. This makes it hard to reach. Soap dripped a bit.

I wasn't happy about the room's condition. the air conditioning wasn't working properly. The room was too warm at night. also, mosquitoes were a problem when i tried to open the window. it seemed like maintenance issues were overlooked.

My room faced the back. It overlooked what seemed to be a service area. Loud noises started early each morning. Sleeping past 7 AM was nearly impossible. The room was not very clean. I found hair in the bathroom upon arrival.
