The bed was super uncomfortable, as it was soft in the misdle, and the room smelles of old cigaret smoke which was very annoying, the shower was pretty crappy too, but as it was very cheap, what can you expect.

The place cannot be deemed an hotel, talk less of a 3stars one. It is a Motel, they have no restaurant facility, just the space available. The rooms are very small and the bathroom is a tiny bunker. We were there for a week and they NEVER cleaned the room, not even when specifically requested. The receptionist is genuinely helpful, but there is very little under his control.

There was no one in the office in the morning, no breakfast, or anything else. it was all shut. You could not access the big pool. No food at all. I went to a cafe over the road for coffee and cake. However, there was air conditioning, essential as the temp reached 40 degrees. The room itself was adequate, with a small bathroom. It is remote, and is really suitable for someone with own transport.

Petit bémol : personnel de chambre inexistant, nous sommes restées 3 nuits, le lit na pas été fait durant le séjour, d'aprÚs une femme de chambre croisée la veille du départ, il fallait le stipuler à l'arrivée..?.. Je lui ai demandé un rouleau de papiers toilettes, elle nest jamais revenu vers moi... le soir la réception etait déjà fermée vers 21h donc nous avons dû nous en passer..

UNE GROSSE ARNAQUE

C'est parti pour l'Hotel California.. ah bah, Ă  l'arrivĂ©e on voit un panneau Fast HĂŽtel qui surplombe l'hĂŽtel.. puis sur le portail.. GHM New Airport đŸ€”đŸ€” en bref on sait pas trop oĂč on est.. Notre rĂ©servation est trouvĂ©e a l'accueil.. ca bien doit ĂȘtre lĂ .. Il nous est prĂ©cisĂ© qu'il n'y a pas de petit dĂ©jeuner.. comme proposĂ© sur le site.. ok Passons ensuite Ă  la dĂ©couverte de la chambre, qui etait annoncĂ©e 3 etoiles, grand luxe, art dĂ©co... si on fait abstraction de la saletĂ©s, de la moquette poussiĂ©reuse, du moisie de la salle de bain.. bah il ne reste pas grand chose.. a part un lit pas trĂšs confortable et des oreillers dĂ©pourvus d'Ă©paisseur. Pas une table, pas un tabourets ni de table de chevet. Ah si j'oublie! Une belle tĂ©lĂ©! Au moins ca! Bon.. ni netflix, ni prime ne se connectent.. mais on va pas trop faire les difficiles hein! Pour le dĂ©part, comme indique Ă  l'accueil, on laisse la clef dans la chambre et on claque la porte... sĂ»rement pour Ă©viter d'avoir Ă  demander si le sĂ©jour s'est bien passĂ©...
Une chambre parfaitement décorée art déco.
Chouette! On peut se laver les pieds en Ă©tant sur le trĂŽne!
Une entrée accueillante.
