Keiner war vor Ort, uns den Schlüssel zu geben, sind wir weggefahren zum nächsten Hotel und nun müssen uns kümmern um sicher zu sein dass keiner das Geld abbucht für das Zimmer wir nie hatten.
The website allowed us to book. but upon arrival we were greeted by a sign indicating that they were closed for business. What the heck? Then I spent over 30 minutes on the phone with hotels.com only to be told in the end that they could not guarantee I wouldn't be charged. Again, what the heck?
The on line image for Dalem's Chalet looked quaint but current. I could swear a continental breakfast was advertised, and that the room description included coffee maker. Well the Dining hall is clearly out of business, there was a coffeemaker in the room but no coffee fixings [ 4 packets of instant tea and some sugar], Ice lived in a cooler on a patio table with a handlettered sign saying "ice for drinks". Lightbulbs are energy efficient led, so somewhat dim; the exterior sign was not illuminated at all on a dark turn off [I arrived at 9pm], the exterior stairs and parking lot had no working illumination either so it took me a while to figure out where the office actually was. The room was very cold, the décor clean but distinctly shabby, I could hear my neighbor snoring through the wall. Bottom line, this was probably a cute place once upon a time but it's fallen on hard days; NOT basic contemporary accommodation for the price, by what I would consider "easy traveler" Motel 8 and Red Roof type standards. That said, the place was scrupulously clean, the desk guy personable and nice, the room warm once I turned up the thermostat, everything there did work, and the bed was adequately comfortable.
The lady, I suppose she was the hotel owner, was very friendly, but there were some big issues. We booked a non-smoking room. Despite of this, we were given a SMOKING room, which was stinking like a dumpster. Sound isolation was very poor. We heard everything what was going on upstairs: TV and walking half a night. Internet didn't work.
The room did look like a chalet with lace curtains and exposed wooden beams in the room. The design is a bit dated, but clean. It was a good place to stay for a night. Breakfast was not included. Best of luck Miss Ursula.
Having people ask us if we had any marijuana for sale after pulling into the parking lot. We hadn't even been there a full minute and this had already happened.
