Reviewer Type: Extended Group
Travel Purpose: business
Positive: Good location. Was clean and comfortable. Spa pool in the room was great. The heat was amazing after getting home late at night after our shift although it was very dated and could do with upgrading.
Negative: Heater on the wall didn’t work and no aircon/heat pump. Was given a very small fan heater to heat the room. Shower was horrible. Nice pressure but no hot water at all so having a freezing cold shower on a winters morning to try and get ready for work was not nice at all.
Summary: Overall customer service was great. Beds were warm and comfy, awesome view of the mountains and snow.
