8/10 Good
"The location was perfect, being able to walk to restaurants for dinner. The room was comfortable and clean and had everything we needed. Was great to return to our room made up while we were out on the second day. First impressions however were a bit disappointing, the reception was closed when we arrived at 2pm, so spoke to someone on an intercom to get our room number. Also there was quite a lot of leaves and rubbish outside our room, alcohol cans, paper bags etc, that did not get tidied up all weekend. The room walls are also very thin so we were woken by neighbours very early both mornings. In saying all that, as the location was so good and the price very reasonable, we would stay there again on a trip to the mountain."
