Pros:

Good location close to Heavenly Gondola, friendly staff, clean comfortable room, comfy bed, good bathroom. We were in a renovated room. I would stay here again.

Cons:

Just little things - The breakfast was okay, best item was the frozen sausage sandwich but the kitchen needs more than one microwave as everyone was waiting to heat up their sandwich. The walls are a bit thin, could hear our neighbours at times. The bathroom didn’t have anywhere to store toiletries on the sink.
