Voici un hôtel où il fait bon être hébergé, même si j'y ai ressenti comme un sentiment de désuétude en marche à certains égards, notamment pour ce qui relève de l'"espace bien-être". Je pense qu'une porte fermée, peut-être de type "saloon", entre la salle de restauration matinale et celle de préparation, permettrait encore un meilleur confort aux personnes qui profitent au demeurant d'un excellent petit déjeuner. Merci au personnel pour la qualité de son accueil et pour sa capacité à "vendre" l'hôtel et la ville dans laquelle il se trouve.

Hôtel bien situé, par contre pas de place de stationnement et surtout nous n'avions pas de chauffage alors qu'il gelait à l'extérieur. Peu ou pas de chauffage non plus dans la salle des petits déjeuners. Du coup, nous n'avons pas testé l'espace bien être...

Un très bon hôtel dans un cadre reposant

Arrivée en début de soirée, le (petit) parking de l'hôtel m'a été proposé ! La chambre était parfaite, bonne propreté, belle décoration moderne et reposante. Accueil charmant ! Petit bémol pour les horaires d'ouverture de la réception et pour la fermeture du bar . Manque un peu d'amplitude horaires et de services de "dépannages" (capsules café, en-cas disponibles, par exemple avec un distributeur automatique ?)
