A rustic hotel with awesome views of Mont Blanc. A hotel with old charm for visitors who came with the sole purpose of skiing back in the days. The amenities were minimal but we liked the experience. The room was spacious for 4 and the beds were comfortable. We didn't bother getting the hotel breakfast as there a couple of good patisseries close by for fraction where you can get breakfast for a fraction of the cost. The hotel had a good patio where we enjoyed or breakfast and scenic views of Mont Blanc. The hotel puts out cookies and treats everyday for guests to enjoy. They had a espresso machine with espresso and hot chocolate. They had a pool table and foosball table in the game room which was nice. Our overall stay was very enjoyable.

No free parking as advertised. No parking was available and therefore I had to move my vehicle to a parking garage. Hard to drop off bags due to congestion in the area. Room was old. Bathroom door didn’t open all the way. Hot water took forever to warm up.

The stay was great, the room had a little issue as one of the mirrors was broken and it could've been a safety hazard, especially with a little boy around (as we stayed with my 7 year old son in the room). I really appreciated the modern TV and the refillable water option. I think the hotel needs a bit of refurbishment in order to get a 5 star review. All in all a really good stay, location is also grea. I would recommend it.
