My experience at the hotel had its highs and lows. On the plus side, I found the staff to be exceptionally attentive and friendly, particularly the restaurant manager who accommodated dietary needs. The spa facilities were a highlight, perfect for unwinding after a day on the slopes. However, I faced inconveniences like a lack of reliable Wi-Fi and issues with room cleanliness which detracted from the overall enjoyment.
