Stay away!
Hotel is dated. Elevators only go to certain floors in one wing. No elevators in other wing which is 5 stories. No mini fridge, no microwave. Check in time is 5pm two of our rooms weren’t ready until after 5pm. I would not recommend.

Not worth the location
The Approch is right off the hill, and this room seems like a deal…. Until it’s 2am and you can sleep from the T-Bar rave going on, and the hords of lifting tracking past your room screaming and yelling. Wouldn’t recommend if you want to sleep through the night.

The room was clean but that was about it. Kinda felt like the recent renovation was done cheaply and some of the fundamentals were missed. Elevator was broken. Tv didnt work. some of the electrical sockets werent working. No phone to call the desk. Guy tried to fix the tv but nothing ever happened. Wont be recommending Panorama or the approach anytime soon..

The view was nice. The Elevator button to level 2 wasn’t working. Room was scorching hot but was provided with a fan to cool down.
