Frétigney-et-Velloreille Vacations from $616

Lovely place to be with family

Staff were excellent, hotel was clean and rooms huge

Great location - views, vineyards, good restaurant on the property, quiet. Very inconsistent inconsistent experiences with the staff. Terrible front desk experience - check-in took 45min. No English, no ‘Hello’, the room I booked wasn’t available. It was already given away to a different guest. Letitia wasn’t capable of finding a replacement or didn’t have the authority to upgrade. I looked at 4 different rooms in total. The manager of the hotel was there the whole time, yet did not step in to help address the situation. He made sure he stayed with his back to me the whole time. I got a nice room in the end, comparable to what I had booked, but only because I kept insisting. So frustrating. At dinner - the server was unfriendly to the point that I addressed the issue head-on. Do you have a problem with me? ‘No, I don’t, I even brought you a different eine.’ What? That’s part of the job! The property is old, the carpets needs replacement, but the location is fantastic.

The apartment was spacious and clean, and the building overall felt well kept. The free shuttle was a real lifesaver, since you really can’t get around here without a car (no Uber in the area). Some things weren’t so great though. The shower head holes were too small, so the water hit like bullets on your skin. The curtain kept coming loose, the sink cover was broken, lighting was poor, the stove was very slow, and there weren’t enough toilets/bathroom facilities. No cleaning service during the stay either. Even with those issues, the room size, cleanliness, and shuttle service made a big difference. For that reason, I’d still give it 4 out of 5 stars.
