We stayed here for a week's skiing in March '13. This hotel is not a top-of the-range fancy-pants place; neither is it an identikit Holiday Inn type place where you could be anywhere in the world, but for the very reasonable price paid it does not disappoint. It has it's own character, and I liked it. The rooms aren't large, but are sufficient, and have balconies with FANTASTIC views. The beds are a bit hard; the bath is a good size but not easy to stand in to use the shower. The jacuzzi and sauna are an absolute Godsend after skiing, but surprisingly not much used, we almost always had them to ourselves. There's plenty of breakfast, typical continental, cereal, bread, pastries, yogourt etc.; the only hot food is boiled eggs (boil yourself to your own preference), and there's cheese but no cold meats. The cable car station is a VERY short walk away - fantastic - and Nerey Glisse just across the road is as cheap and good as anywhere to rent skis if you need to. 5 minutes walk into town gives you a good choice of restaurants, as well as supermarket and souvenir shops, but the dinner in the hotel is actually very good. The manager (owner?) has a slightly off-hand manner, but actually turned out to be very helpful and accommodating. His huge dog, who often lurks in the reception, is delightful and playful, but if you don't like dogs just ignore him and he'll ignore you, so it's not a problem.
