I arrived to this beautiful hotel on Sept 9 2024 after a long day of driving. The front desk was very welcoming and informed me of all the great amenities. There was also plenty of parking behind the property. …

3 night honeymoon stay. The desk staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The room was huge with a baloney that had a wonderful Mountain View. Very easy to travel to nearby sites with the visitor pass for local bus trips. Delicious breakfast every morning. We enjoyed the amenities - pool, saunas and massage. 10/10.

Great hotel with excellent professional and polite staff. Good restaurant, very comfortable rooms, and good location for relaxation. The towns around are rather small and seem mostly for guests visiting in the Winther months for skiing. Good breakfast. Prices are reasonable for the rooms. I will recommend staying in this hotel and I could easily return here in the future myself.

Great location of the hotel. Hotel itself is a very well maintained property. The rooms are old school, however everything was working well. Beds are very comfortable. The whole hotel is spotlessly cleaned. Spa is newly renovated, still needs some decorations and final touches. The shower heads are full of limestone and downy work properly. We had dinner in the restaurant, if was very good food. Service was fast and efficient. Food could have been warmer, but I guess that’s personal preference. Overall, for the price I wouldn’t stay there again, however I will visit the restaurant, if I’m in the area.
