Parking note. Problematic — Multiple guests report the parking lot is too small, tight, and causes anxiety about car damage from other vehicles parked closely.

What guests report

View
Valley and mountain views vary by room; rooms 402/403 have good views but share balcony; room 401 has roof-only view; room 208 has tree-blocked view
Bed & mattress
Mattresses generally comfortable but some guests find them too hard; beds are newish and well-maintained
Bathroom & water
Moderns in newer rooms; some older standard rooms have cramped bathrooms with low headroom under roof
Wi-Fi
Acceptable but sometimes unstable, occasional connectivity issues reported
Breakfast
Excellent, generous, fresh, diverse buffet with high-quality options
AC / heating
None—no air conditioning; heating available but no cooling; guests must open windows for ventilation
Elevator
Yes, but only goes to 3rd floor; last floor requires stairs

Local knowledge

Standard rooms on upper floors with mansard ceilings are very small and have low headroom—request larger rooms like 208 if you're tall
Rooms 402/403 have beautiful valley views but share a small balcony with no partition—not ideal for privacy
Room 401 has windows facing only the sky due to roof design—avoid if you want a view
