In diesem Hotel werde ich gerne wieder einmal eine Nacht verbringen.
Pros:

Die Ausstattung trifft 100% meinen Geschmack, original und gleichzeitig gepflegt und gut unterhalten. Das Zimmer hatte einen wunderschönen Holzboden.

Cons:

Ich mag lieber etwas härtere Betten.

Nice, but noisy at night
Pros:

Nice building on a quiet street, with decent-sized bedroom and bathroom. The bed was fairly comfortable. It's a short walk to downtown.

Cons:

Because it's an old building, everything makes noise. The squeaky hardwood floors meant we could hear every step from the room upstairs, and from our neighbors, and the metal key door locks make noise when neighbors enter or leave their rooms. We needed earplugs, and slept poorly.

The pillows were uncomfortable.

Pros:

Hotel historique. On se serait cru au début du siècle. L'ameublement et le décor était quasiment d origine.
Le personnel est gentil et à nos soin.
Le seul hic.... les chambres ne sont pas bien insonorisées.
Le plus est que l'on peut mettre les ski derrière l hôtel et se rendre au remontée mécanique. Et le must est le retour avec les skis derrière l hôtel au ski room.
Génial... nous y reviendrons.

Cons:

La chambre peu insonorisé mais une très belle salle de bain avec un grand bain très moderne.
