Réponse du propriétaire: Thanks so much for the feedback. As you know there is a definite scalable difference between the studio and our 1BR with full kitchen and this is also reflected in the rates. We have checked out alternate coffee makers but we must be mindful of our housekeeping staff and remain consistant with the standard in the resort as staff cannot expected to be familiar with cleaning and maintenance of every style of coffeemaker. If it was me, I would put in an Expresso / Cappuccino machine! As you may have realized we do offer upgrades where we can such as 600 count cotton linens, comfortable pillows and bedding, and HD TV with DVD as well as wifi internet. We do make it very clear to our guests in our description that we do not offer a kitchen nor a balcony in the studio and we compare the studio to a typical hotel suite. This is exactly what we get in our room when we stay at the Seattle Four Seasons suite. We offer an incredibly affordable ski in/out room for 2 or 3, with great location and views with the expectation the guests will be dining at one of the many on mountain or nearby restaurant options and uses the fridge for drinks and snacks and the microwave for heating up precooked items. If a guest seeks more than that, the 1BR is the way to go. We hope we can accommodate you next time in our 1BR with full kitchen or even our 2BR if you return with others! What a great snow year once again!
