Arrived early so we waited around for check in. Some guy arrived 15-20mins before check in and was given a room right away (same specs as our reservation). When i stood up i was told our room wasn’t ready before i even asked. When they finally gave us a key, we drove over to the room to find someone still cleaning (way past check in time). On top of that, the water heating wasnt working due to maintenance work which we werent told about at checkin. No proper heating in the room (in a ski town resort?!!!) and only one electric heater in the big room upstairs. Only smooth thing was check out. 500 swiss francs wasn’t worth it. I only expected the basics.

The food and location of the property was excellent, massive shoutout and thanks to Aaron for making the extra effort in the kitchen! When arriving in the room however, there was quite a bit of dirt and hair that wasn’t cleaned, additionally the saftey bar attaching the latch was not secure at all

Great location, just average experience.
The location is lovely, but for a resort like this the experience was poor. Arrived an hour after checkin time and our room was still not ready, and then when trying to get some cutlery to our room, was told this couldn't be done - I'd have to come to the restaurant and pick it up myself. Not an easy feat for someone with a knee injury.

The room smelled like chemicals, then I found a can of bug spray in the cupboard and realized that it is what the room smelled like. Not an environment I wanted to sleep in. My TV wasn't working and I had to get someone to come fix it which took about 20 minutes. My meal at the restaurant was pretty bad. After a long day, I was looking forward to a decent meal and was quite disappointed.
