I had a mixed experience during my stay at the resort. The proximity to the ski slopes is fantastic, making it convenient for fun on the snow. However, I was quite disappointed with the cleanliness and the overall state of the rooms, which felt outdated. While the dining at Cornucopia had some good offerings, the service in the restaurant left much to be desired. I would say the value for money is okay for a ski trip, but be prepared for some downsides.

My stay here had its ups and downs. The hotel's proximity to the ski slopes is fantastic, making it super convenient for a quick getaway for skiing. However, the rooms left a lot to be desired with a musty smell and some signs of wear. Dining options were decent, with the Cornucopia restaurant serving quality food, but the overall service felt a bit slower than expected. While it's budget-friendly with packages that include meals, there's definitely room for improvement in several areas.

The resort has great access to the ski slopes, making it perfect for skiing enthusiasts. The atmosphere felt welcoming, which added to the charm of the stay. However, the rooms left much to be desired, being somewhat outdated and in need of a deep clean. The dining options were hit or miss, with some menu items being pleasing while others fell short. Overall, it's a budget-friendly option but don't expect a luxurious experience.
