Tired and in need of a refresh

Second time staying here spread apart by several years. They have spent some time on the front of house experience and hallways but the rooms remain tired and shabby. On the plus side, there are many more eating options now than there were a few years ago.

Hotel tres pratique pres de l'aéroport avec un arret du tram juste devant l'hôtel et a 2 station de l'aéroport. Chambres asser spatieuses et propres.

Très bon emplacement. Service de l'hôtel appréciables bien que n'ayant pas pu apprécier la piscine vu notre arrivée tardive et le petit déjeuner vu notre départ très tôt. Personnel serviable. Chambre plus modeste que ce à quoi je m'attendais pour le prix. Lattes du canapé lit cassées, salle de bain à moitié rénovée ( carrelage ok mais vasque et baignoire vétustes, pommeau de douche qui se désolidarise du flexible)
