A disappointing stay
A strange place. Initially when we arrived there was no one present so we couldn’t get in. I managed to find a lady in the kitchen and she called someone who came and booked us in. It turned out that we were the only two people staying there so after 5:30pm it was just us. The whole place wasn’t particularly clean but our room was fine and the bed was uncomfortable. This is a ski resort and we were out of season, however it was advertised as having a hot tip and a sauna, neither of which were available. It should also have come with breakfast included but there was no one at the property in the morning, so that wasn’t an option either. I’m sure it’s great in the winter but we were disappointed

Probably our fault
We were the only people in this hotel. I thought it had closed when we showed up. It was locked. Yes it was 12:30 and check in at 2:00 but locked. There was a bell to ring which we did twice and no response. The door had a phone number on it to call if need be. Well I was now just about end of phone battery so went next door at 2:30 as still no response with bell. Next door was kind to let me use their phone to call the "call if needed" and it was answered and we came back and he opened the door. My fault because this is a ski town and it is summer so few people around.

This would be an awesome property to stay at if it was up and running properly. Manager seemed annoyed we were even staying there. Only one other room rented and we got told to be quiet. Gardens and external areas need alot of work. Rooms clean but dated. Breakfast, lounge and Bar area not available. Very disappointed. Hoping they improve things for next time.

Person who checked me in was rude. Told me off about my friends who had stayed the night before being late for breakfast . Told me if he was there they would have got nothing. Warned me not to be late. Felt told off even though it was nothing to do with me. Never spoke to anyone at breakfast. Obviously doesnt like his job . Room was incredibly hot
