French Alpine Charm
Pros:

Great garage parking for our motorcycle. The hotel was ideally placed for crossing the Col du Galibier. Lovely mountain views from our room. The evening meal in the restaurant was superb as were the accompanying wine & beer. Tasty breakfast. The staff were very pleasant & friendly.

Bon séjour

L’hôtel est très bien situé pour faire de belles tandis et proche de la grave.
L’hôtel est beau et propre.

Cons:

Un peu cher en rapport avec les prestations. 165€/ nuit avec petit déjeuner. Manque un peu de sens commercial, un peu rigide sur les services.
