The room was nice, if a bit dated, with an amazing view of the mountains and river from the balcony. A fan in the room would have been nice since it was rather hot, but we managed. It was nice to have enough beds for two adults and two teens, which can be hard to find. We enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful accommodation. Nice staff, enjoyable lounge with free beverages and snacks by the water. Great location. Apartment was well appointed, had beautiful terrace and a nice sized kitchen. Only comment would be that the flooring and counters were quite damaged and the washer left clothes soaking wet.

The staff was wonderful! They were all so kind and helped us from start to finish. Breakfast was so delicious! Free parking was also great. We had amazing views from our room too. However, the rooms and the hallways need a huge makeover and a good cleaning. Everything else was great!

We came in the summer and loved Chamonix. This hotel was in a very good location and had a nice sized room with views of the mountains (although also right on the parking lot and another hotel so not super private). It is a cozy, lovely place- I imagine really nice in the winter. The entire place is a little run down- old carpets in the halls, and old, outdated feel. I found this charming, but also recognize some people may not like the rustic cozy feel.

This hotel is in a wonderful location, the staff is very friendly and helpful and the parking is good and free of charge. However, the condition of the room and bathroom was very poor, which is a pitty, the hotel need some tender care and love to be in acceptable conditions.

An older property & amenities are a bit older like the shower & gym but it’s still nice. Carpet floors if that matters. But the staff are all so friendly and helpful and accommodating. Location & view is also great.
