Easy location and all the basics you need
Pros:

The location is easy access to food options or whatever you need.

Cons:

The doors are so heavy and it’s not easy to go from parking lot into your room, multiple doors and upstairs etc.

Cons:

AM and PM noise issued, tired & dated decor, it was clean but not spotless and the bedroom door locks were either faulty or hard to use so as a female solo traveller did not feel safe.

Pros:

위치가 매우 좋음. 중심가라서, 사방에 먹을 곳도 많고,
스키타러 가는 버스를 바로 맞은편에서 탈 수 있음.
주차 공간도 매우 넉넉함.

Cons:

아이와 함께라서 조용한 방으로 배정해달라고 사전 요청했는데
가장 시끄러운 5번 방으로 배정되어, 소음으로 인해 잠을 자기 어려웠음.
