clean room comfortable bed good water pressure high parking fee thin walls sound insulation
The chalet king room was clean and well kept. i found the bed comfortable. the shower had good water pressure. It was quite refreshing.
the parking fee was higher than expected! it was $20 per night, though the website indicated a lower rate. i also found the walls to be quite thin! i could hear conversations from neighboring rooms! the lack of sound insulation was a noticeable issue.
