We'll be back!!
Pros:

A great special going at the moment for room and breakfast.
Very nice lady at reception. And because we had stayed many times before our check-in was very quick.
This hotel is in a great location, very central to everything. Our room was what I asked for and the breakfast was yummmmy.
Overall really happy with our stay

Comfortable room, friendly staff and the breakfast was great value.
Pros:

The winter special with breakfast included was the reason we booked at this hotel and we loved it. Would go again. The location was walking distance to the casino and the Town hall. Was able to leave our car while on the Tranz Alpine overnight trip.
