Wonderful hotel and spa stay

friendly staffmountain viewquiet roomnice pool

The staff was very friendly and super helpful. They allowed us to keep the same room. It had an amazing view of the mountains and forests. The room was quiet during the night. I experienced great insulation on the door and window. The outside pool was really nice. It was amazing to see Mont Blanc and the mountains. I enjoyed relaxing on the lounge chairs.

The train station was a short walk AWAY! though sometimes, i found the train schedule a bit INCONVENIENT.

The breakfast had great options and the views were nice. The hotel had a heated boot room for ski equipment. The bus station was SUPER close to the hotel.

I was advised the restaurant would be closed on certain nights. The information was not correct because it was closed . We had to find other places for evening meals!

Acceptable Stay. Some Issues

train tracksshower maintenance

The room lacked air conditioning. This. The proximity to the train tracks also was not ideal. I could hear trains frequently. The outdated shower needed better maintenance since the showerhead dripped constantly. The noise and temperature detracted from an otherwise acceptable experience. I expected a more restful environment for the price.
