The hostel room is clean and spacious. But there is no elevator. It is difficult to carry the luggage upstairs. I am a senior and the room is on the 3rd floor. When I asked the manager whether the seniors can get the rooms on 1st floor. She said no and we can get rooms with elevator in a more expensive hotel.

Didn’t realize it was a hostel
If I had known I had signed up for a hostel.... sure, but the bathroom was shared by a lot of people, found a drunk guy on the floor snoring outside our room one morning (it was New Years weekend)..... again if I was in my 20s and knew I had signed up for a hostel.... not too bad...

Stay away!
The worst experience I've ever had. It was more like a frat house than a hotel. There is no elevator & they are in a ski resort town, how do they expect guest to get their stuff up 3 flights of stairs.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Room was very comfortable with a shared bath which was very uptodate and clean. Terrific breakfast was included. Only down side was that there is no elevator to 3rd floor room....and no internet connection. (have to go to their hotel which is around the block. City center is a bit of a bus ride away; bus stop is right at hotel.
