"Enjoyed the place as a ski base"

"Room was nice, suitable for a couple if you're happy to sleep in separate beds. 2 king single mattresses with additional bedding in storage compartment for additional people. Shower was great with great water pressure, though no ventilation so it would get very steamy very quickly. Fridge wasn't on when we arrived, had to turn it on ourselves. You get a hair dryer, a kettle, 4 cups and 4 mugs. No utensils and the microwave is in the shared space where the washing machines and dryers are. Inconvenient yet tolerable. The entire building is made from wood so you can hear every movement, especially from people above/below or next to you. We had issues with the people below us and their children running and jumping around late at night which kept us up, despite me confronting them about it and asking them to keep it down, as well as the property asking them to do the same. Though this isn't specifically related to the property itself, this was definitely the biggest drawback. If it had better acoustic insulation it would have been perfect, though due to this issue, I don't see us staying here again. I suggested that management put signs up to establish a dedicated "quiet time", and charge people who continuously ignore it (yes they were that bad). I'm not one to complain or leave bad reviews, but the noise travel was a major issue for us that I think everyone should be aware of. Overall, it's very clean and new, and has small shops next door, though a bit far from restaurants. "
