Not the first time here, lovely stay with very warming staff, even with a little surprise that always improves the experience. Very good amenities and cozy rooms. Will definitely come back. Excellent location well within the mountains.

Good but not perfect

Went with children. Staff not very available and not supportive when needed. No dressing room in the swimming pool. Only one elevator.

This was a wonderful mid-summer stay for our family. The location and amenities are all top-notch. Both restaurants serve good food. We will return.

Worst hotel stay in 30 years of traveling
27 Jul 2025
It was quite possibly the worst hotel experience I have experienced in over 30 years of traveling around the globe.We booked for a single night stay to try out the hotel chain before we would decide to book at their other hotels along the coast for a later trip.We get there, having driven from France (there are no longer any borders in the European Union), and she tells me my husband's driver's licence from France is not valid enough as an ID to confirm that he is indeed going to be a guest at the hotel. She wanted his passport.Furthermore, she also wanted my passport and our son's passports, to confirm we were indeed who we said we were for so called "fire safety" measures.So what, without borders, we don't accept ID from other countries, especially ones from a European Union?We were turned away from the hotel and then we had to scramble to try and find other accommodations to avoid sleeping in our car.We ended up at the local hotel, and I will never EVER book or recommend booking with this absolute trash of a hotel company.
