There is no front desk on site, you have to get your key in a bar next street, despite a parking on site and an «entrance » sign… Also breakfast is served no later than 9:30 and rooms have to be returned by 10am (they accommodate 1or 2h extra) Restaurant closes super early as well… Bathroom was gross… Bed had hair in it!… Overall would def pay the extra bucks for an additional star!

Trevligt boende med ny fin hotellbyggnad Stort fint rum, med ny fin inredning bortsett från några tråkiga stolar i brunt plastläder, varför klär man inte om stolarna som man älskar dem ;-) Såg ingen skylt om någon takterrass eller någon spabad, som det stod att hotellet skulle ha, och jag kunde inte fråga på franska vart det var. De är fransktalande så det är bra om du talar franska, gäller i övrigt stora delar av franska hotell och restauranger - man klarar sig inte långt på engelska i Frankrike. Frukosten lite torftig

Belle découverte, sans hésitation

Situé dans une ville étape, l’hotel est très facilement accessible, accueil rapide et rassurant après plusieurs heures de route, nous étions 4, en famille. Cadre hyper calme, accès sécurisé, ascenseur, bonne literie, grande salle de bain, balcon, tout confort, je recommande vivement cette affaire familiale depuis 5 générations d’hôteliers. Et petit déjeuner gargantuesque sous la tonnelle, avant de reprendre la route en toutes sérénités. Excellent rapport qualité prix même en plein été. Je recommande vivement

After a shaky start as the building looked nothing like the picture on the internet until you drive around to the back of the building, and the reception in the bar which is at the front of the building all turned out to be perfect. The room was spotless, beds were comfortable, tub was deep and there was a cute balcony which we did not have the opportunity to use as it was a rainy day. We had a wonderful dinner in the cozy dining room. Steaks were the best we had had in a long time and we have never finished an entire plate of frites before. All in all it was a great place to stop.

Hotel très calme et pourtant tout près de l'autoroute . Il possede des doubles vitrages . La salle de bains comme la chambre sont vastes . Il y a tout ce qu'il faut pour être très satisfait .il y a même un tout petit radiateur au mur dans la salle de bain , très efficace . Le confort du lit est excellent , et je suis exigeant . Le parking se trouve devant votre chambre au calme et gratuit . Au petit déjeuner, l'endroit est simple , mais le café noir est excellent , servi à volonté . Le pain a été bien choisi , très très bon , plusieurs variétés dont un avec graines dont je me rappelle encore . La confiture maison vous ravira .Pour le thé , présentés dans leur grande boite en bois comme dans les grands hotels . L'autoroute est tout près, 200m peut être .
