Liked: Cleanliness
Did not receive the check in code and property manager was reluctant to assist. Not all rooms have a Mountain View (mine looked at another building). The room is small, as in the distance between the bed and one wall was about the side of a paperback book (~8 inches), another wall about 2.5 feet, and between the bed and third wall/bathroom about 3 feet. There is no closet, no place to put a suitcase. It's clean and functional.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Nous avons passé une nuit dans cet hôtel. L'hébergement était très sale (escalier plein de poussières et mitons (alors que tout le monde enlève ses chaussures à l'entrée), grille d'aération plein de poussière, sol de la chambre sale, moquette des parties commune pas propre du tout). La chambre (chambre double small) était moderne mais toute petite, il a été impossible d'ouvrir nos valises sans devoir les poser sur le lit... Le lit était petit (140 cm ?) et contre le mur sur un côté donc nous étions vraiment à l'étroit. Il était cependant confortable. L'isolation n'était pas terrible et une alarme a bipé une bonne partie de la matinée (dès 05h du matin), avant que quelqu'un du personnel puisse la stopper, vers 07h30. La douche était bouchée et l'eau ne s'écoulait plus, nous avons du attendre pas mal de temps entre nos 2 douches pour que l'eau s'écoule et pour ne pas inonder la salle de bain. L'endroit est isolé, sans commerces aux alentours, prévoyez de quoi manger si vous ne souhaitez pas manger à l'hôtel. Le petit déjeuner était correct. Il y avait, dans une salle commune, du thé et du café disponible, ainsi que quelques gâteaux, ce qui a été appréciable. Je ne reprendrais pas cet hôtel si je reviens dans ce secteur.

Das Hotel liegt sehr abgelegen und man fühlt sich eher wie in einem Hostel. Zu Beginn wird man gebeten Schuhe auszuziehen. Es wird ein gemeinschaftliches Beisammen sein gelebt. großräumige Wohn-/Essbereich ist im Erdgeschoss, nett und hell gestaltet. Man kann sich jederzeit Kaffee oder Tee nehmen, es standen sogar ein paar Kekse dabei. Frühstück wird schön hergerichtet und schmeckt lecker, es gibt Brötchen, Bagels, Ei, Gemüse, Joghurt, Marmelade, Aufstrich, Wurst und Käse. Das Personal oder besser gesagt die besitzende Familie war sehr nett. Der Zugangscode wird per Nachricht mit der Zimmernummer übermittelt. Als wir am Hotel angekommen sind, gab es schon die ersten Probleme. Der Code ging nicht. Zum Glück waren die Besitzer da und konnten uns hereinlassen und haben den Code direkt geändert. Wir hatten ein Comfort Doppelzimmer mit 20 Quadratmeter und Doppelbett gebucht, haben jedoch nur ein 12 Quadratmeter Zimmer mit zwei Einzelbetten bekommen. Das lag im ersten Stock ohne Aufzug direkt am Treppenaufgang, war also dementsprechend alles ziemlich laut. Man hatte den Eindruck, den Schleudergang der Waschmaschine zu hören und es gab ein ständiges Knacken in den Leitungen. (Vllt wurden deshalb Ohrstöpsel in den Zimmern bereitgelegt…) Das Wasser hat sehr stark nach Schwefel (bzw. Eierpups) gerochen - normal in dieser Gegend, jedoch extremer als man es gewohnt ist.

清潔でおしゃれで あった。しかし、シャワーの水がほんの少ししかでない。場所的に水不足?設備の問題? 朝食付きでお得ではあった。 オーロラロケーションとしても敷地は適していたと思う。
