Hoteles Kyriad La Quinta en Gaillard

The hotel has some good aspects and some less good aspects. First of all the good: The place is pretty clean and if you are travelling through, it's a bed for the night. Breakfast is a reasonable 7.50. Not really a 'fabulous' contiental breakfast, but an OK breakfast with croissants, demi-baguettes, butter, jam, yogurts, orange juice, and of course tea and coffee. And you can have as much as you want, which is obviously a good point if you are hungry in the morning. Check-out time here is etiher 11:30 am or noon, which is great if you arrive late and need to catch up on your sleep in the morning. You can also arrive as early as 1:30 pm, which is also very good. In that case you have to use the self-check-in machine and pay by credit card for your room. So kudos to Kyriad for making better than average check-in / check-out times. The less good: I have come to undetstand that this is a feature of Kyriad hotels, but the rooms are just too small in my view. There is just barely enough room to walk around the bed. And yes I know it's a budget hotel, but look at something like Travelodge, the lowest price chain in the UK. At least there you normally get a reasonably sized room. Of course this is not the individual hotel's fault. The location is possibly good for someone coming in by car, but if you are on foot like I was, then it is about 25 mins by foot. On the way back I discovered a bit of a short cut by taking the small unofficial path next to the overpass (to the right), which will lead you quickly to the big roundabout and to the road which you can follow back into town eventually turning right onto rue du saleve. If you're a budget traveler and looking for an overnight stop, and also taking the above into consideration, then the Kyriad definitely has it's good points. If you're in town to actually visit Annemasse then you might be happier in one of the hotels nearer to the centre.
