The ease of booking and check in was very good. Room was clean and comfortable. As I was travellng by train, it access was excellent - just accross the road. Breakfast was more good. All together a very pleasant and affordable stay. Would receommend highly for the cost concious traveller.

Parking there is hard to figure out, even with the instructions, it wasn't clearly identified where to find the parking lot. One gentleman, who I'm not entirely sure was actually staff, was kind to help us and let us through the gate. You have to circle the large block to get back around to the parking entrance. For those unfamiliar with the property, it's almost impossible to know where it is as it's definitely not obvious in relation to where you enter the hotel to check in. Staff were friendly enough, but there seemed to only be one dedicated staff member on duty and they were also the bartender at the hotel so we had to check in at the bar. Not a deal breaker, just out of the ordinary. Seemed to be a central spot for disorderly conduct. Cops with canine regularly patrolled the front walkway of the hotel where the bar is located to move the drunks along from loitering, loudly.

Ok for a stop over, managed to find a lovely bar nearby, the atmosphere in the hotel bar was not for us. If you have mobility problems check your room is not in the area where there are flights of stairs & no lift.

We booked the wrong dates and tried to change. Hotels.com staff couldn’t change the booking as no one at the hotel spoke English. We tried via email and never got a response, so asked our French Airbnb hosts to call, hotel refused to do anything over the phone and said they would reply to our email. Never heard from them. Terrible customer service avoid like the plague

Ns sommes en fin de journée. Personne a l accueil, ns avons du passer par le bar attenant à l'hôtel. Le Mr a l accueil très avenant, disponible. Mr m a présenté le petit déjeuner et le parking et comment accéder à la chambre. La chbre est grande. Par contre trace sale sur le couvre lit du grand lit, drap non tiré correctement ça été mis comme ça... SDB : évier sale et bouché. Ns avons eu des poils de barbe qui sont remontés. Dégoûtant.. morceau de papier toilette au sol. PetitDejeuner, mini croissant ni pain au chocolat, oeuf, jambon et yaourt,jus de fruit frais disponible, café machine bon..pour 9 euros c'est quand même cher. Hôtel vieux, salle a manger vieillotte. Parking hôtel gratuit dispo.

Chambre avec odeur de cendrier !!! Horrible mes affaires puaient le tabac , il est évident que cette chambre a héberger un fumeur sur une longue durée imprégné dans les mur , les toilettes !! Atroce vraiment. MAIS Vraiment a vomir !!!! Évidemment rien n'a été fait pour essayer d'enlever l'odeur durant cette semaine !! Je suis chef d'entreprise! Des gens squattes le hall la nuit . Dorment sur des fauteuils avec des odeurs répugnantes. Regard agressif car oui je partais à 5 heure travailler ! Et donc je les gênait... on marche sur la tête ! Vous ne pouvez pas ouvrir les fenêtres le soir car il y a constamment des odeurs de cannabis . .. Je ne sais pas ce qui se passe dans cet hôtel mais ç'est inadmissible. Je suis venu a plusieurs reprise depuis 2021 . Mais là je ne viendrai plus car ça a bien changé !! Ils ont choisis leur clientèle apparemment.... La réception vous envoies des sms avec une faute à chaque mots .. pathétique . A fuir clairement !
