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.

Good accommodation at a great price!
Pros:

Good, inexpensive rooms over a downtown pub. Easy access to central business district. Nice common lounge and kitchen. Very quiet in the off-season (non ski season).

Cons:

Had a small issue finding someone to check me in at the listed check-in time. An employee from the Blue Pub across the street had to locate a key to let me in.
