Hôtel Restaurant L'Oberland — Hotel in Grenoble

Five cycling buddies and I stayed there in Sep 2022. Fantastic shed for bikes, and amazing location for a cycling holiday. Unfortunately, the managers at this hotel are grumpy and need to go to hospitality school, as their preferred service approach includes eye rolls, sighs, and rude comments when you ask for things. And god forbid you bring food purchased outside onto hotel grounds; they'll give you a proper tongue lashing. Actually, more like openly talk sh&% and gesticulate about you to other guests in direct line of sight, and then accuse you of being the "uneducated" party in the matter when confronted about it.

We didn't see any of the bedrooms but if they follow the general style of the lounge I'm sure they're great. A real life saver and were really thankful for the staff....
