We'd been in the south of France for a week or so and were driving back north, looking for somewhere to stop over and came across the town of La Clusaz.
The Hotel Christiania had reasonable reviews, was pet friendly, centrally located and seemed to have free parking.
When we arrived after a long drive, we could not find any available parking in the designated area which seemed very limited anyway. I pulled over and my wife went into the Reception area to ask where to park. She was left waiting for a long time, was then ignored whilst the member of staff chose to deal with another client who had arrived after her. She was then told there was no parking available and we'd have to use a public car park, but with no guidance on where this might be located.
We found the public car park which, in fact, was very nearby and made our way to check-in. From that point onwards, our stay went very well. The rude member of staff was no longer to be seen and everyone that dealt with us was extremely friendly and accommodating.
The accommodation itself is a little tired but clean and overall represented good value for money.
The location was great, near restaurants and bars and to the cable car, which we took to the top of the local summit for a beautiful walk with amazing scenery.
I think the hotel should be more clearly promoted with very limited parking. Given it's location, i imagine the vast majority of guests drive and there are nowhere near enough spaces available for that.
