Pros:

De locatie van dit hotel in Les Houches is heel centraal gelegen. De kamer die wij hadden was ruim genoeg en ook het terras was fijn.
Super dat er een zwembad ter beschikking was.

Cons:

De isolatie van de ramen was heel slecht: We hadden een kamer aan de straatkant waar je geluid van voorbijgaand vervoer nog heel erg kon horen.
