This one is a conundrum. If you look at the pictures on hotels.com and you see the price, and it says “Mountain View” with a little icon of a mountain, and it shows in their photos what a picture of the mountain looks like, you have a pretty good hunch you’ll end up with a room that resembles the photos and will give you a peek at the Matterhorn, since that is THE mountain in the area.
When you arrive to what feels like a 70’s era ski lodge room, you and look out the window to an alley and you can see into the Pategonia store across the alley, you feel like you’ve been had.
A return to the front desk revealed no other rooms like the one we had were available, but they did have two completely renovated and contemporary rooms that unfortunately included bunk beds that my kids have long-since grown out of. Breakfast was good. The staff was friendly. The “Bellevue” room was a JOKE. Belle meaning “beautiful” vue meaning “view”. Put that together and what do you get?? A clean room where they put lipstick on a pig. They made up the sofa for my girls and as soon as my daughter sat in it, the pillow end (where the couch seat is) collapsed and she fell to the floor. This revealed they had not assembled the bed properly. The shower head came alive. Turn on the water and it could not be contained in any one position. It was like a cobra tossing too and fro. The decor was easily 40 years old. Brown shag carpeting too. A complete miss for a room that cost $433 USD. 9.2 Superb?
