Bien sans plus …
Bel Hotel, très bien situé. Super service. Beau Lobby. Chambre Junior suite grande et bien aménagé. Par contre, mur en carton, on entends TOUT. Pomme de douche à 10 pieds dans les air et non deplacable donc difficile de prendre une bonne douche. Manque de rangement dans la salle de bain. Lumière dans la salle de bain s’allume au mouvement….donc durant la douche …la lumière s’éteint…désagréable.

A wonderful and charming hotel with amazing staff and in a perfect location right on the cable car route. The rooms are clean, beds are comfortable and while the bathroom is a little small it was certainly clean and useable. Overall a fantastic and perfect location hotel that I would strongly recommend. We will be back here for sure.
