Great location but needs work

Wonderful location in Annecy but in serious need of an upgrade. The pool and some parts of the hotel looked slightly better but really not meeting the mark of modern classic feel hotels. Balcony was a. Ice touch but was unfurnished which was odd and the in room tea/coffee options werent great either. If it wasnt for the location and parking we would not come back.

Truly a great hotel, expensive perhaps, but worth it. Only small criticism was the separate toilet, which was really tiny if you are six foot tall. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return.
