This is a 3 chimney rated Logis de France establishment in the Vosges Region, an unspolit area perfectly suited for walking and cycling, with heavily wooded hills, deep valleys and miles of tracks to explore.
The hotel resembles a large, rather plain Swiss-style chalet and at first entry appears austere and slightly gloomy, due to its eco-lighting in the corridors. However, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The modern rooms are very clean, comfortable and well-maintained. Little touches such as the electrically operated shutters are fun. Management are very hospitable and obliging. We were even offered a change of rooms after the owner thought we may prefer to be further away from the restaurant stairs! We declined-it was not necessary. Although busy with groups of cycling enthusiasts, the atmosphere was good and all was peaceful by 11pm.
The restaurant at the rear is spacious and the quality of the meals very good, with ample choice. There is the usual three price- level menu arrangement. Our demi-pension deal included the first level menu, which proved most satisfactory!
Breakfasts are excellent. Home-made preserves, cold meats, cheeses, cereals, fruits, cakes and yogurts and of course, croissants, crusty french bread and coffee-spolit for choice. Staff are friendly, helpful and attentive-even under busy conditions there were no delays in service.
This is an excellent base for exploring. It should be said that there is not much to do in the village itself, which suits people who...This is a 3 chimney rated Logis de France establishment in the Vosges Region, an unspolit area perfectly suited for walking and cycling, with heavily wooded hills, deep valleys and miles of tracks to explore.

This is an excellent base for exploring. It should be said that there is not much to do in the village itself, which suits people who are keen to fill the day with activity and relax in the hotel in the evening. Le Menil does have a tabac, a bakers and there is a supermarket two miles down the road in the next small village.
We rated this hotel very highly and recommend it wholeheartedly to others.More
