The staff, although friendly and helpful, seemed a bit unaware of certain details like the location of the ski bus stop. The individual who came for disinfectant spraying was friendly despite his inability to smell.

The hotel is perfectly located downtown, offering convenient access to restaurants and shops. The rooms, although smaller than expected, were still comfortable and stayed cool even on a scorching 100-degree day. The service was a mix of unenthusiastic and truly thoughtful gestures. The location, despite some street noise, was great for exploring the town and nearby attractions. The dining options were adequate but nothing extraordinary.
