The hotel is very close to the lifts and walkable to the shops. Our room was slightly less comfortable for our family. The view off the balcony was a roof. Thankfully the mountains towered above the roof, so the view was gorgeous. The sink leaked constantly and the TV did not work reliably. When there was a shock Spring blizzard and we were snowed in to Chamonix, they did not let us keep our room because of a private event happening. They offered to help us find another hotel in town but we ended up finding one ourselves. It was not everything I had hoped for when booking.
