I have stayed at the hotel many times and always love it. Apparently a few months ago they cancelled the free parking for expedia gold members so that wasnt something i was aware of prior to my stay. Also in the morning the cleaning staff are way to loud.

Location is convenient, close to gondola and restaurants. We've enjoyed our previous stays at this property, but we were extremely disappointed in the service and cleanliness of the room during our most recent stay. There were stains and other stuff on the sofa bed bedding. We called the front desk a few times asking for new bedding, but did not get new bedding until the second day.

Very noisy, no sound proof at all, you can hear everything from the hallway, footstep sound from second floor. Staff was watching foreign video right outside my door, and had to tell them to go away. Room was not clean, food crumbs in the room and closet. Dusty chair, remote. Not a pleasant stay. Other than the location, not sure why 4.1 stars rating.

This was a nice hotel for a good price. On the edge of the village so very walkable, and easy to get in the car and go too. Pool was nice and the outdoor heated pool was a fun touch. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Housekeeping attention to detail was poor and I had to take a Lysol wipe to the bathroom door and room surfaces as they had not been cleaned. Maybe they were understaffed as we were slow leaving our room for the day and they didn’t circle back to refresh our room at all over a three night stay… Overall the hotel was a good value and we enjoyed our stay.

We stayed at the Aava for 2 nights. First - a few issues. Our room wasn’t cleaned/turned over or restocked w toilet paper/coffee/clean towels or beds made after 1st night, and even though we went to front desk to request that it be done, it still didn’t get done. Pool only opened at 10am. No restaurant option on site. No drinking water available - only a water drinkable fountain. It was also quite noisy (were staying on 1st floor and folks above our room clomped about and everything can be heard from above below). Room was also quite small. A few good things. The parking was ok. Location was good (a bit outside of the hubbub of the village). Room was clean when we first arrived. Double bed feature was nice. Noise from room next door minimal, which was good. Staff was very helpful when something happened to one of our hotel keys.
