If your main purpose is to ski and sleepcheap..
I've been staying here for almost 10 years but they did renovations and it apparently changed owners. The big advantage is it is cheap and right next to the lift. They used to have a more comfortable feel with a lounge room/ library with video games and movies and such but it has been replaced with a ski rental place? Bummer. Also they used to have a shared kitchen but now it is not available and they use it to prep the breakfast, which is very minimal. No amenities in the rooms, no soap, etc. Shared bathrooms and showers. Now your wear your shoes indoors everywhere.
