Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located right on the ring road, making it easy to access various attractions and amenities, but the lack of English-speaking staff members could be challenging. The rooms are basic, missing a sofa or balcony, but some have the luxury of a jacuzzi and feature comfortable beds. The hotel offers a mixed service experience with some areas needing improvement, such as the bar and restaurant staff trying to overcharge guests, while others like reception provide helpful English support. The location offers easy access to the nearby ski lifts, perfect for winter sports enthusiasts, although it may be a bit far from the main gondola. Dining options include organic Quebec cheeses, adding a local touch to the culinary experience. The hotel's facilities cover essential services like room service, laundry, and ski equipment hire, ensuring a convenient stay for guests.
The hotel's rooms lack a balcony and sofa but offer a better view of the main bus station, with a terrace ideal for bathrooms. The service could be better with a lack of English-speaking staff, especially in the bar and restaurant. The location is convenient on the ring road but slightly far from the gondola.
The hotel is situated on the ring road, making it convenient for direct access to the slope. However, it is too far out of town center, requiring constant taxi rides or a forty-five-minute slippery walk to the ski lifts. The rooms feature a jacuzzi but are let down by very old furnishings and lack of fresh air. The service, unfortunately, lacks warmth and English is limited to just the receptionist. Despite the challenging service, various amenities like room service, housekeeping, and laundry are available, enhancing the overall stay. The dining experience, although inclusive, is noted for serving delicious buttermilk biscuits. The hotel offers delightful facilities, albeit somewhat dated, to meet guests' needs during their stay.
