Loistava
Pros:

Erittäin mukava pikku hotelli keskeisellä paikalla Ferneyssä. Bussit keskustaan ja lentokentälle 200 m. Erittäin siistiä ja ystävällinen henkilökunta. Aamupala Erittäin hyvä. Suosittelen.

Cons:

Ei ilmastointia, mutta hyvin nukuttiin ikkunat auki. Ei ongelmaa.

Buona scelta per partecipare a un congresso al Palexpo di Ginevra
Pros:

Posizione centrale, ben collegato con i trasporti pubblici a Ginevra. Al bistro si mangia bene a prezzi ragionevoli e i gestori e il personale sono molto gentili.

Cons:

Purtroppo non c'è l'aria condizionata, e con l'ondata di caldo eccezionale è stato un problema

great French village atmosphere...good people
Pros:

location, looked the part of a small village hotel, with a great restaurant. It was a great value this close to Geneva.

Cons:

a walk up with narrowing steps - not much can be done about that. No air conditioning. Weather was great so the open windows worked great.
