Reviews and Ratings
This hotel has stunning mountain views and is conveniently located just a short drive from Le Lorian ski area, making it a great choice for winter sports enthusiasts. While the atmosphere is quiet and serene, the service was lacking, especially during dinner, where we experienced significant delays and unprofessional behavior from the lone staff member. Although the manager addressed our complaints the following morning, the overall experience felt unorganized. The hotel is definitely in need of modernization, as the furnishings and facilities appeared quite tired.
The hotel is situated in a breathtaking location with stunning mountain views, making it ideal for skiing enthusiasts. However, the service needs major improvement, as there was only one staff member to handle everything, leading to long wait times at dinner. The rooms are quite dated and in need of a makeover. Despite the challenges, the manager's commitment to resolving issues enhanced our overall experience.
The hotel is located in a stunning area with breathtaking mountain views, making it a great pick for skiing enthusiasts. However, the service left much to be desired, with long wait times and only one staff member handling multiple responsibilities. The rooms felt tired and in need of modernization. Fortunately, the manager addressed our concerns, making the latter part of our stay more pleasant, but overall, it was a mixed experience.
I stayed at this hotel while skiing nearby, and the location provided stunning mountain views that were hard to beat. However, my experience was marred by poor service and outdated facilities. One staff member had to juggle multiple roles, which led to long waits for dinner and a general feeling of neglect. While the manager did address our concerns and improved our stay, the overall experience left a lot to be desired, especially considering the dated condition of the hotel.
We chose this hotel for its great proximity to skiing, only a short drive to the slopes, and the mountain views were truly stunning. However, the experience was marred by lackluster service, particularly during dinner, where we faced unreasonably long wait times and unpleasant interactions. The room was quite dated and in need of renovation, and the issue with the locked main door raised some safety concerns.
