Hôtel le Génépi

My party of 2 adults, 2 teens stayed here for 4 nights to ski. Location is excellent, in the town center about 200m from the escalator where you can ski over to the olympique lift complex. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby. There is no parking at the hotel itself, so we parked at one of the large paid garages in town and it worked out fine. It has a charming front patio with nice views. Checkin was fast and the staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed in a quad room and it was on the small side but adequate. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom a little bigger than average by european standards and spotless. There is no elevator, so be aware if stairs are an issue for you. Wifi was ok, but not great. We had alot of trouble setting up the initial connection and the signal from our room wasn't great ... the lobby was better. Breakfast was good and plentiful, though they used a coffee machine. The ski room was very small and you had to store your boots in a separate room in the basement, which was inconvenient. We opted for the half-board and regretted it. We had 1 good meal, 2 OK meals, and 1 bad meal. I love eating out in France and really missed that aspect, especially since meribel has alot of places to eat. Meribel is an expensive town for hotels, so I'd definitely stay at the Hotel Genepi again given the lower price compared to others. Skiing was spectacular ... we loved Meribel and the 3 valleys.

Unfourtunate covid circumstances with closure of borders lead to cancellation of holiday. Hotel very uncooperative not only refused to refund 50% of the stay but took the other 50% against their own policy and denied it (having shared evidence). Will never book again with them.
