Der Steiermark

I was worried since some of the reviews were not so good, but my room was lovely. It's clearly been renovated in the last couple of years. Everything was clean and comfortable and I appreciated the full kitchen since I had packed food for the week instead of spending money eating out. It was a great central location which made it easy to get to everything I wanted to see. It would have been 5 stars except that, since it's over a restaurant, it was a bit noisy during the dinner hour on the weekends. The rest of the time was very quiet though.

The condo was a short walk to the Quicksilver Super Chair. The condo was quite dated but comfortable and the kitchen was well-stocked with all of the items to prepare meals. I would suggest bringing blinders to use at bedtime to shield your tired eyes from the well-lit hallway projecting light into the bedroom unless the owners invest in black out shades or curtains. The condo is located in the same building as a popular Mexican restaurant, Mi Casa, which was convenient for a take-out dinner. The chili rellenos were superb! Main Street was just around the corner and had numerous restaurants and a small grocery store was just a few blocks away.

Other reviews have complained about the noise, that’s because people LIVE here, this isn't a tourist rental. Check in was a nightmare. First off the condo complex shares an entrance with a ski shop and a restaurant, so you're not even sure you're in the right place. TWO phone calls to Wyndham’s “front desk” and still couldn’t get clear information on how to find the front desk. Come to find out, there is NO “front desk”. You have to go a different location to check in and it was like pulling teeth to get the phone reps to explain to me where we were supposed to go. We wound up walking to the Wyndham check in location and told the clerk there how unhelpful the front desk clerks on the phone were. He said confusion with check in happens all the time and it was the booking website’s fault. WTF!!?? Yeah, it's located close to Main Street, but that's not always a plus. Lights and noise from the bars are annoying. The condo complex shares an entrance with a Mexican restaurant. Every time we left or returned to our condo, we had to push our way through a hallway crowded with tons of people waiting for a table for the restaurant. People fill the hallway, kids are playing games on the floor, others are sitting on the floor right in front of the elevator. Not their fault, they don’t where the elevator goes to, NO signage saying keep this area clear so people can get to the elevator. You will NOT want to use the hot tub. The tub is in the center of the complex, surrounded on all four sides by condos. Every time we walked by to get to our room we could look right down and see if anyone was in the hot tub. And all the condos look right out onto the hot tub, they can look right out their front window and right into the hot tub. NO privacy. Other reviews are correct about the outdated décor and poor condition of the common areas. The actual condo is closed up for who knows how long so it’s like walking into an old house that hasn’t been lived in for a long time. The rooms are stale and musty and the windows look like they were installed 50 years ago. There is a skylight over the bedroom so you can’t sleep because the moon shines light right down on you. What’s worse is Wyndham, the booking agent, and the owners know about ALL these issues and have not done anything to fix them! If they did a better job of training their phone reps or putting better signs out people wouldn’t have such a hard time with check in!! Horrible place to stay!
