7/10 Good! (1,010 reviews)
"Always a comfortable place to stay after a long drive, new lifts and key card upgrades are great. The ladies smoking outside the front door were a bit intimidating, this was in no way a reflection on the hotel. Easy quick and seamless check in was also a relief after driving 8 hours. Always a pleasure ..."
