This is a great hotel not just by french standards, if you know what I mean. Not sure if it's just…read morebecause of my budget mindedness, but most hotels I could afford in France were dreadful by US standards. Easily half the hotels I booked in France were abhorrent and expensive, which I just chalk up to the fact that travellers from all over the world flock to France, so even the hovels make easy money.
Altedia is very comfortable, and out of the way. The staff was very courteous, the room very comfortable, and the stay was great. I even liked the dining available onsite.
The only downside for me was not having much within walking distance. With a rental car it's easy striking distance to Chambery, which is a great city full of history and friendly people.
