Excellent Stay

The hotel provides free street parking if your vehicle does not fit in the parkade. The hot tub is large enough for many guests to relax. The staff members are friendly and also helpful. I found ski shuttles convenient right outside the building.
I noticed no air conditioning in the rooms.

Wonderful Lodge Experience

free bus ticketseasy parkingfriendly staffmisleading pool
I appreciated the free bus tickets. Staff give them out for the duration of stay. Parking was easy, even with big car. I liked the really kind staff.
I think the pool was a bit misleading. There where some issues with it.
