It is a small hotel with a restaurant. It's rustic, as you might expect, since it's in a skiing and recreation area in the alps. The rooms are simply furnished, but comfortable and homey. The restaurant serves huge portions of a delicious version of French country cooking. I had a beef stew served over ravioli, tasty and filling. No one here speaks English. I was the only one in the restaurant that wasn't French. Even though I don't speak French, the staff were friendly and patient and we were able to communicate enough for me to check in to my room and to have dinner in the restaurant. Overall, I would definitely recommend l'Escapade if you are looking for a comfortable place to stay in the Maritime Alps.

And just like small towns in the US, the personnel here were friendlier and more down-to-earth than their big city counterparts. It was an enjoyable ambiance. We had business just 30 minutes down the highway the next morning, making this a convenient place to stay. The fact that there was a restaurant next to the hotel added to the convenience. The location was a little off the beaten path but, nonetheless, it was situated in an agreeable spot. The check-in experience was easy and the woman attending the front desk was particularly pleasant. I was given a room on the ground floor, which suited me quite well. The room was clean and more than adequate with respect to space. The bathroom was likewise adequate for maneuverability. The workspace was decent. The bed was comfortable and the environs were quiet, allowing a good night's sleep. The breakfast was located just off the lobby. It was an extra moderate cost tacked onto the room rate. The selection on the buffet was pretty good and the quality was decent. The checkout experience was easy and fast. The cost was very reasonable and made this place an excellent value in my opinion. The base cost was €65. With breakfast and a small added tax, the final cost was €75.80. I was completely satisfied with what I received for the money I paid.
