This hotel is poor in every aspect. In urgent need of s refurbishment specially in public areas. The breakfast experience was awful. 10 min wait to be sit down, run out of fruit and there were no bowls available for 10 minutes, floor dirty and sticky floor, coffee arrived when we were finishing breakfast and only guests with dogs could use the outside terrace.

The all-inclusive resort hotel is convenient for skiing, but the rooms are relatively old, the resort facilities are very good, and the service staff are busy and almost hard to contact

We were given a room with a connecting door and we were surrounded by bus loads of Chinese on a tour and it was so noisy i struggled to sleep . I could hear every word said by the people in the connecting room the hairdryer was so loud it may as well have been in the room with us . Then it all started up again at 6.30am , while i appreciate that the hotel cant be held responsible for the noise of other guests i do think we should not have been given a room in amongst a large bus load of people that were clearly travelling together . The adjoining door was next to the suitcase stand meaning every time they went in their suitcase it banged our door . We only arrived 45 minutes before the official check in but were made to wait again i appreciate we were a bit early but in all my travel's i never known a hotel not letting people in a little bit early as the room was clearly ready by 3.15 when we arrived so this was a bit petty .

Building needs an upgrade. Fixtures and fittings in bedroom dated and chipped. Sound proofing between rooms poor. Ordered piri piri chicken received plain roast chicken, no apology. Top money paid for substandard product. Please raise your game, letting down a fantastic setting.
