Highlights: great staff, convenient location, heated bathroom floors & towel rack were a nice touch, minibar was included in our room, the food that you ordered for breakfast was great, reasonable view of the mountains from the room, having a water bottle filler in the lobby Downside: room was extremely dusty, exhaust in the bathrooms didn’t work too well, small balcony with no patio furniture to enjoy the outdoors, few days in someone threw up in one of the main lifts and the smell lingered for days after, hotel seems a little outdated or missing the same luxury of other Sofitels (not including the staff, they were all great)

Location, location, location

Phenomenal location! The staff are lovely and helpful. We’ve stayed here several times over the years. The overall quality of the hotel has gone down. You can see the wear and tear. The beds need to be replaced. They dipped in the centre. It has become more of a family place. Expect a lot of kids.
