Chiesa di San Giuseppe di La Bourboule: Tour e Visite Guidate

Positives: Well-priced, well-situated hotel. Decent restaurant with good choices. Very good restaurant staff who were charming, despite being overworked and going flat out. Pleasant room, comfortable bed. Water dispenser in the corridor a very good idea. Good shower. Good breakfast. Negatives: air conditioning clearly not up to the job of a full hotel in 38'. My complaint was treated with more or less a shrug as the receptionist condescendingly told me it was hot (really??), that the hotel was full (and..?), and that it would cool down eventually (after about 6 hours it did). Pillows awful, great thick artificial things, very uncomfortable. Disappointing not to have a walk-in shower. Difficult for both of us to climb in and out of very deep bathtub to use shower, especially with no handles or bars or a non-slip mat. You would never see this in England and I'm amazed it is legal in France. I would stay here again, but only with a walk-in shower.

The hotel was excellent, very clean and well maintained much better than we expected for a hotel close to the main road. The swimming pool looked lovely al though we didn't use it. The breakfast was very good with plenty of choice although it was rather expensive.
