Stayed at Irwin's for 3 months on my gap year. It's in a lovely situation and only a short walk from the town with lots of shops and restaurants. It has a very nice hot tub that we were in most days after a long day's skiing! The reception staff were especially helpful and really made me feel very welcome.... More

Stayed two nights for hiking and evenings out. Really nice, newly renovated room with its own bar area sink. Very clean. Great location, we were able to walk everywhere within Town. Will definitely stay at this Inn again when I return with friends or family.
