We loved this hotel. We had an okay trip to the French Alps to ski (very few lifts were open, roads were bad), and this hotel was the highlight of the trip. The apartments were spacious, warm, great selection of free on-demand movies, and had a bath tub. The staff were fantastic - the young woman at the desk gave us a tour from the parking garage through the pool, lobby, and to our room and showed us what we needed to know about our room (like the movies). Internet worked well. You get a free train pass for the area with your stay; we cut one day off from skiing and just rode the train stopping in Chamonix and other villages. The train station is about a 1-2 minute walk from the hotel (3-4 minutes if you're wearing ski boots), and the gondola is about another minute past the train station. This is a very convenient place to stay if you're taking the train. Beware, however, if you drive, like we did, part of the road can get closed off to vehicles without chains (it didn't happen, but we did have some nervous driving moments on slippery switchbacks getting there). We would definitely stay there if we go back to that area, but I'd have a plan of where to park near the train station in Chamonix or Les Houches in case the road to Vallorcine is too bad.
