This is a beautiful property and a very good location with interesting and appealing interior design. There seems to be a lot of activities going on throughout this large resort hotel. However the staff we're less than accommodating on check-in and made us wait until 4:00 p.m. when we were pretty certain that rooms were available sooner despite our Platinum status with Expedia. The breakfast buffet was good. Also we had a bit of construction noise nearby but overall a great stay

It was great! The vibe, the decor, areas within the property. Breakfast a must have. The minus is the shower, small, very small, but not enough to change my opinion that is a place to stay.

The breakfast was amazing, they had a good restaurant and bar. My only complaint is with the room. The bathroom smelled like mildew all the time. The shower is an open concept, and it gets a good portion of the bathroom all wet. The room was very dark, it had very little lighting so it was hard to see clearly putting on makeup of finding articles in your luggage.

The hotel is very close to the lifts and walkable to the shops. Our room was slightly less comfortable for our family. The view off the balcony was a roof. Thankfully the mountains towered above the roof, so the view was gorgeous. The sink leaked constantly and the TV did not work reliably. When there was a shock Spring blizzard and we were snowed in to Chamonix, they did not let us keep our room because of a private event happening. They offered to help us find another hotel in town but we ended up finding one ourselves. It was not everything I had hoped for when booking.
