The hotel acts as a convenient base to explore Chamonix and the surrounding area. It has all the basics needed with good size rooms. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Although there are no tea or coffee facilities in the room, the hotel does provide hot and cold drinks in the lobby, and cake at 1600 each day is a nice touch. There was a good breakfast selection, and some excellent local produce.
