Underwhelming stay. Not worth the price

loud staff ski room issues
The hotel's location was great. Its proximity to the savoy beginners slopes was convenient.
I had high hopes, but i was disappointed. my room overlooked the staff block, and the first night staff were loud until 4am. the ski boot room lacked seating and i had to ask staff to open it each day. This was like a glorified youth hostel.
