Not fancy, clean room to get sleep btween ski days

The hotel is fine for a place to sleep. The shower design makes it hard to keep water contained, and it's clear this is a problem. It's also a bit weird to have the coffee maker in the bathroom. The beds were good, and the room felt clean. Expectations weren't all that high, but breakfast was actually better than I figured it'd be. Check-in and out was easy. In short, I would stay again, but only if the price was cheaper. I picked this higher priced hotel thinking it would be nicer than other nearby ones, so I might try a cheaper place which would probably be similar next time.

Rooms were nice and clean, well kept. However, both hot tub and sauna not working at the same time, and pool room was frigid. Not what I wanted after a day of skiing.
