Hotel des Marquisats Annecy

Be careful, lovely town and 3star that does not come cheap, but be aware. We were really surprised and felt badly treated about this "rule". When you go out to have dinner you "must" leave your room's key unattended on a wall in the hotel's hall. When the owner told us that we "must" and I asked if the hotel would take any responsibility in case our belonging were stole, he denied this.

To avoid discussions we did, but if we had not already given away our card details with the booking, we would have really changed hotel. When we came back after dinner we saw that the hotel's manager protects his pc and desk at the entrance with an iron gate, but the guests' keys can be (and must be aware) left unattended in the hotel's hall.

We certainly would have liked to know about this rule beforehand, maybe we are a bit paranoid, but we did not like it and had never heard of such a thing ever before. I cannot recommend this hotel due to what we perceived to be lack of the professionalism of the manager/owner(?) who got angry with us because we were not keen to leave our key unattended (the reception closes at 7pm).

The location is good, and it is good to have Internet in the room, but we felt badly treated by someone were to pay 75£ the double for (ideally) a pleasant and enjoyable stay.
