Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“I never write reviews but this hotel is one of the best I’ve been to. Fantastic service all around- especially the front desk staff. They were so helpful with restaurant recommendations and booking ski passes. There were free hotel shuttles to and from ski resorts and the driver even loads all your ski equipments in to the shuttle beforehand. The only minor thing to mention is that some rooms are facing a busy street so you might hear some noises at night. 100% recommend. Thank you for a fabulous time.”
