The Good
There were very few recent reviews available at the time this analysis was conducted. However, among those limited reviews, a few guests thought that this property offered good value for the money they spent and a couple of reviewers found their suites to be spacious and modern. One guest found the ski-in/ski-out access ideal and said that "the ticket office and main lift is just outside the door". Another guest said it provided the best of both worlds for both nordic and downhill skiing.

The Bad
As mentioned above, there was a limited number of reviews available at the time this editorial was written. Among those few reviews, there were no common concerns or complaints expressed by guests. However, guests considering this property should note that amenities, such as breakfast service and a common hot tub and pool, are not located on site, but at a neighbouring hotel.
