Fausse représentation - PAS DE SALLE DE BAIN
La fiche d’information mentionne une salle de bain alors que c’est complètement faux. Il s’agit de petites cabines toute neuves bien propre car elles sont neufs mais il n’y a pas d’eau ni d’installation solitaire à l’intérieur. Il y a un bloc sanitaire communautaire pour tous les petites cabines comme un peu dans un camping. Donc en hiver, vous devez sortir de votre chalet et marcher dans la neige ou sur la glace pour aller à la toilette. Par ailleurs, une des deux toilettes pour les hommes étaient complètement démantibuler hors de service, et l’autre était condamné à notre arrivée, si bien que les hommes devaient aller à la toilette des femmes. Le Wiifi fonctionne, mais minimalement la bande passante, ne semble pas suffisante pour toutes les unités. Le signal cellulaire 5G est très faible, pratiquement non fonctionnel.
