We were able to check in early, which was a big plus. Plenty of parking was available. Food at the restaurant was good. Communication was a bit of a challenge, since we spoke English and the staff mostly spoke French but there was a man at the bar/restaurant who spoke English. The elevator is a bit small and the winding road to drive to the hotel was a challenge but the place is beautiful up in the mountains.

I didn’t like the room at all. It is horrible. The heater in the bathroom where you hang the towels was really dirty . I had to clean it myself to be able to put there a cloth that I washed. The service of the lady at the breakfast was the only highlight. She smiled at me and was nice.

Crans-Montana Getaway
Overall, it was a good deal and the hotel was typical Swiss experience - clean and well maintained (little aged), but overall good. The restaurant was excellent and we had a great meal there sampling wine. The breakfast was basic continental. They were helpful booking taxis and recommending restaurants. The location is great for the zip line and lower lake experience - about a 20 minute walk to Crans and a bit further to Montana center. Only complaint was the pool - it was not well maintained (cloudy/green) nor heated and they charge you to use. Lastly, we had the family room which was very convenient for a family of 4.
