This hotel is situated on the right side of Alp d'Huez (when looking at the pistes). It is directly on the big parking lot, at the side of the shopping gallery and several ski lifts. The hotel garage was fully booked, but the parking lot was well taken care of by snowplow trucks. It took us less then 5 minutes walk to get to the piste square with lifts. The hotel has got a large ski room, but it is not heated, so your ski boots will stay wet after a day of skiing. Ski lockers are okay. The swimming pool is small, but enough for a quick swim, with small jacuzzi and sauna. Okay to go with kids (depth from 1m to 1.50m).
Room was taken care of everyday, clean up and fresh towels. For our child the couch was folded out to create a single bed, well for a kid, not for an adult. Pillows were small and we used 2 per person. Size of room was very good, with 2 extra chairs, desk and TV. The free Wifi only works in the lobby. Toilet was separated from bathroom, which was large enough and with a bath incl. hot shower.
The restaurant we used both for breakfast and dinner. Breakfast offered plenty of choice, to everyone's liking. Dinner was fixed menu (1 soup, 2 choices of starters and 2 choices of main course - fish or meat, and dessert offered choice of local or ice cream) and for kids a special main course. The food tasted average. The service was a bit slow, because it seemed the French staff avoided us and so we were depending on one English lady of staff, together with many other non-French guests. Dinner for groups was served in another room as for families.
We were happy we could use the shower at the swimming pool after check out, in the afternoon after our last day of skiing and before driving home.
