Hôtel Courcheneige

Here’s the updated review with your additional points included: Pros: • Excellent Pizza: Truly a highlight and worth mentioning. • Ski-in, Ski-out Location: Extremely convenient for avid skiers. • Well-Equipped Ski Room: Great facilities and attentive service. • Friendly Staff: A pleasant surprise, with consistently warm and welcoming interactions everyone from the reception, bar, luggage guys etc (yes even from the French staff!). - clean rooms Cons: • Poor Communication: Emails to reception and concierge often go unanswered or receive inconsistent responses, with different staff handling the same query haphazardly. • Slow Restaurant Service: Dining experiences are delayed, which can be frustrating after a long day. • above Average Food Quality: Beyond the standout pizza, most dishes are unimpressive. • Lunch Seating Not Guaranteed: Even as a hotel guest, your seat at lunch for pizza is not guaranteed, and the hotel doesn’t inform you of this in advance. • Outdated Design: The hotel feels dated, with low ceilings and an overall old-fashioned ambiance. • Tiny Elevator: The main elevator barely fits two people at a time, making it inconvenient during busy periods. • Inconvenient Access: Getting from the parking area to the reception requires walking about 150 meters and taking two separate elevators. • Limited Dining Hours: The restaurant closes between lunch and 6:45 PM, which is challenging for families with young children who eat earlier (around 5:30–6:00 PM). • No Room Service: A surprising omission for a hotel of this caliber. • No Minibar: Rooms lack minibars, a standard convenience in many hotels. • No Shuttle on Saturdays: The hotel shuttle doesn’t operate on Saturdays, forcing guests to pay €40 for a 2-minute drive to town or ski school. • Challenging for Beginner Skiers: If you have kids who are beginner skiers and need to take them to ski school, it’s a hassle. The school is not within walking distance, adding to the inconvenience. • Infrequent Shuttle Service: Operates hourly instead of being available on demand, limiting flexibility. • No Cigar Room or Outdoor Fireplace: Smokers are left to brave the freezing cold at night, despite ample space for a cozy indoor or outdoor smoking area. • No Spa or Wellness Facilities: There’s no spa, swimming pool, or wellness center, which is a major downside for a mountain resort. • Limited TV Options: TVs in the rooms only have standard French cable channels, with no access to Netflix or similar paid streaming services.
