Although the majority of reviewers were pleased with their clean and well-equipped rooms, a few guests had complaints about their accommodations. They reported small-sized rooms, spotty Wi-Fi and dated decor.
A couple of lodgers complained about noise transfer from people leaving nearby bars late at night. One patron noted, "Even though our room overlooked the street facing downhill, it was probably quieter than the rooms facing uphill overlooking the ski mountain and subject to the noise of people coming and going from restaurants, bars, and stores. Higher is probably quieter, too".
