The hotel staff was friendly, helpful, and enjoyable. Especially Corinne and Nadine and Miguel. The place is remarkably well kept. Everyone greeted me to enjoy myself. They have a wonderful driving service by mini bus into the town to take your or pick you up whenever. Highly recommended. Excellent value. All my best, Stuart.

We were able to check in early, which was a big plus. Plenty of parking was available. Food at the restaurant was good. Communication was a bit of a challenge, since we spoke English and the staff mostly spoke French but there was a man at the bar/restaurant who spoke English. The elevator is a bit small and the winding road to drive to the hotel was a challenge but the place is beautiful up in the mountains.

I didn’t like the room at all. It is horrible. The heater in the bathroom where you hang the towels was really dirty . I had to clean it myself to be able to put there a cloth that I washed. The service of the lady at the breakfast was the only highlight. She smiled at me and was nice.

Crans-Montana Getaway

Overall, it was a good deal and the hotel was typical Swiss experience - clean and well maintained (little aged), but overall good. The restaurant was excellent and we had a great meal there sampling wine. The breakfast was basic continental. They were helpful booking taxis and recommending restaurants. The location is great for the zip line and lower lake experience - about a 20 minute walk to Crans and a bit further to Montana center. Only complaint was the pool - it was not well maintained (cloudy/green) nor heated and they charge you to use. Lastly, we had the family room which was very convenient for a family of 4.
