“Good Stopover Hotel”

We stayed here on the way home from a lovely holiday. We liked the area, in fact, we'll try and come back as the area had a lot to offer in terms of sporting activities. The staff were friendly and helpful and found a secure place for our bikes. Rooms were clean and we had a lovely balcony from which we could see the lake and the outdoor pool. One teeny criticism is that we were told the restaurant was full but we tried anyway and we got in. I think, in future, if you stay here, book the restaurant at the same time you book the room. The restaurant was very good,staff were friendly and efficient. Dinner was excellent and we're really glad we managed to get in! Breakfast was more than adequate and sustained us for the journey home!

“Mixed feelings...but mostly positive”

This seemed to be the nicest hotel nearest the lake - and so it probably is. The trouble though is that most of the town is further away than the map suggests (hardly the hotel's fault!).

This seemed to be the nicest hotel nearest the lake - and so it probably is. The trouble though is that most of the town is further away than the map suggests (hardly the hotel's fault!). The hotel is close to the lakeside, but somewhat in the middle of a recreation area for families. Although the surrounding area was busy, it was not noisy. Free parking is a bonus when you arrive at the modernistic hotel. Staff are friendly and helpful, and our room rather larger than we were expecting. Nice furnishings were slightly spoiled by the stained carpet. The restaurant is closed for dinner on Sunday AND Monday - and, you guessed it, we stayed on a Sunday and a Monday. We tried to book dinner when we booked the room, but at least they did contact us later to explain the situation (our fault for not checking, especially in France). Local dining options exist but are limited, so be warned! Breakfast on the first day was enjoyable (buffet style, in the roof top restaurant with lake and mountain views) with some of the best bacon you're likely to encounter in France. But on the second day...disaster! Some of the staff hadn't turned up, and most of the food had gone by the time we got there. To be fair, there were profuse apologies when we complained, and the charge was waived. The fitness centre was good for a small hotel, and the (indoor) pool was a decent size and not too busy. Worth considering if you plan to be in the area.

“Clean and fantastic lake view from balcony”

We stayed here for a stopover from Chamonix-Mont-Blanc to lyon. For being diamond with BW we got a nice corner room (106) overlooking the lake and aquapark.

We stayed here for a stopover from Chamonix-Mont-Blanc to lyon. For being diamond with BW we got a nice corner room (106) overlooking the lake and aquapark. The check in process took a bit time as room had to be double checked by staff but we got invited with a coffee which we much appreciated. The room had a nice size and the corner balcony was great with a table and 2 chairs and also 2 giant relax pillows. The double bed could have been bigger and the smell of chlorine at reception and hallway was too strong (comming from the hotels small inside pool). Thats also why we decided not to swim in the pool because of the chlorine. All in all a good stay but there is not much in the area. We left the next morning early to lyon so it was good for us.
