We didn't follow up on this (so we may have just gone to the wrong bldg initially). However, the upper bldg seemed unoccupied. Driving back down the mountain a short distance we saw the first bldg and the reception desk was closed. They did manage to leave a note and instructions to enter our room till they reopened which was very helpful. Had my daughter not noticed the envelope, we probably would have been waiting until they did reopen though; minor issue.
The room was slightly on the small size. However, it slept the 4 of us without difficulty and could have slept a 5th if needed. The couch bed was very comfortable and included a pull out bed below it that was equally comfortable. The chair which expanded into a 3rd bed in the living room wasn't as comfortable. The ski rental (Skiset - Super Ski) was on the first floor of the hotel which made picking up and returning a breeze. Super Ski btw was very good too. There was also a locker room on the first floor to store your wet skis and boots.
The hotel seemed a bit older however everything was neat and functional. The distance to lifts was a short 50 yard walk, lift tickets beyond that. Plenty of close shopping (groceries, clothes, etc).
The drive to the rail station in Moutiers took about 40 minutes which had a EuropeCar across the street. Very easy access to/from the station to the hotel. Meribel itself which has some nice shops is only 5 minutes away by car.
