Hôtel La Vallée

Nice simple room does what it promises

Bit noisy, and the towels were like sandpaper

The hotel is in Longemer. A small holiday spot across the road from lake Longemer. The lake has very peaceful environments with services i.e. an icecream bar, paddle boats for hire in a small scale so it is ideal for resting and exploring. However, even though the lake is so inviting for strolling around that is not possible, There are no walking tracks around the lake even though hiking tracks to higher spots and other places are to be found. We were staying in a room for three adults. The big room was divided into two rooms by a door to give some privacy to each room which is very good. One needs to drive to Gerardmer for supplies, food items or restaurants. This hotel and two others nearby did not provide a restaurant services. Breakfast at the restaurant was plenty and served in a beautiful dining room. Madame Natalie was happy to find what her clients asked for.

With a little more effort the management team could make this hotel perfect. At the time we were staying the toilet seat could not properly stay in its place, it slipped out sideway even though one tried to balance oneself while sitting on it. We were given damp towels and our request for changing faced unwelcoming explanation even though the new towels less damp were given. If you are sensitive to creacked floor this room for three might not be suitable for you. The road in front of the hotel has fast traffic. It needs some other measures to slow down the drivers coming down the hill and those coming round the corner to climb up the hill. At present everyone needs to look again and again and cross the road very quickly at the crossing.

Beautiful paintings by the owner Everywhere! Charming people, lovely breakfast.
