A Nearly Perfect Stay - One Disappointing Detail
My family of three visited Le Chambard last week, and in almost every respect, the experience was exceptional. The hotel was immaculate from top to bottom, and the service was outstanding. Every staff member—without exception—greeted us warmly with genuine smiles and hospitality. Despite being housed in a historic building, the interior felt pristine and modern, with everything looking beautifully maintained and new.
The staff were impeccably dressed and spoke excellent English, adding to the professional atmosphere. We stayed in the third-floor suite, which was remarkably spacious and impeccably presented upon arrival.
Why Four Stars Instead of Five:
My only significant concern was the baby crib mattress. When we inspected it, we discovered the "padding" consisted of two old, makeshift pillows that appeared worn and unclean. This was simply unacceptable for our infant. We immediately contacted reception, and to their credit, they responded quickly and graciously replaced it. However, the replacement was still just two pillows—albeit slightly newer ones.
For a hotel of this caliber and price point, I expected a proper crib mattress. In fact, I believe our baby deserves at least the same level of comfort we enjoyed in our own bed. Understanding they wouldn't be installing a proper mattress, we opted to have our baby sleep with us instead.
This issue stood in such stark contrast to the otherwise flawless experience that it was particularly disappointing. Everything else about Le Chambard was truly remarkable—I genuinely don't understand how this one detail could be overlooked when such care is evident everywhere else.
Would I recommend Le Chambard? Absolutely—just bring your own travel crib if you're traveling with an infant.
