Strong amenities overall (on-site Michelin-starred restaurant, private sauna, tablet streaming, good internet radio), though some practical gaps (no in-room TV in some rooms, limited parking).

Great vibe in the restaurant. Excellent food, accommodation was a little lacking.
Pros:

Location is great, food is excellent and well-priced

Cons:

The rooms were serviced very late in the day. If you went out and came back in the afternoon, they were then serviced while you were there. Rooms are a bit tired now but I see they are in for a revamp shortly. A little overpriced for the accommodation.

Pros:

You need a car to stay here as it is a short drive out of the town centre but, the parking is free so, that's a bonus!

Cons:

The rooms are very noisy. My room had an adjoining door and I could hear the people next door very loudly - not relaxing. Also, there were a lot of noises in the room that weren't good for sleeping. Electrical noises like appliance motors turning on and off.

景色美，服务好
Pros:

我们在这里住了四天，酒店房间对着雪山🏔️让人心情愉悦。酒店在皇后镇到机场的中间位置，两边跑都很方便，停车位充足，有家很好的餐厅和酒吧，我还在那边参加了一场音乐聚会，整体都不错。酒店服务响应也很快，适合愿意自己做饭的家庭

Cons:

沙发的清洁度有待提升
