Un personnel très à l'écoute, disponible et accueillant. Nous y avons séjourné avec plusieurs membres de notre famille pour des funérailles. Nous avons pu nous réunir et dîner ensemble grâce aux plats préparés que l'hôtel propose. Ils on été très compréhensifs par rapport à nos contraintes. Nous y retournerons avec beaucoup de plaisir.

Propreté et accueil impeccable Nous sommes déçus par les horaires de la piscine 12/20h donc si arrivée tardive l’accès n’est pas possible ni le soir ni le matin … + la salle de sport est inexistante il s’agit d’une collaboration commerciale payante et non sur place ….

Je ne recommande pas

Hotel sur le parking du supermarché Carrefour (pas très glamour), la clim ne fonctionne pas, on nous change de chambre le lendemain dans une chambre similaire mais surprise, la clim de fonctionne pas non plus (finalement un sejour complet sans clim alors que cest un de nos critere privilégié). La douche deborde littéralement car le siphon et remplie de cheveux (encore moins glamour), obligée de nettoyer moi même. La piscine et le jaccuzzi ne sont accessiblent qu'à partir de midi (prevoyez de faire autre chose le matin) et jaccuzzi est interdit au moins de 18 ans (prevoyez autre chose pour vos enfants tout simplement). Le buffet du petit déjeuner, bof bof ! Nous devons nous faire nous même notre jus d'orange pressée, les viennoiseries existent contrairement aux oeufs par exemple. Et notre fils de 3 ans a dû payer 5€ par petit dej pour avoir mangé 1 yaourt et 1 tartine de beurre !! Sinon la literie est bonne mais pour le prix, heureusement qu'il y a au moins ça ! Vraiment très déçue. Nous attendons toujours une excuse ou un geste commercial pour tous ces désagréments

People at the desk could not have been more helpful. Very kind, very polite. The hotel rooms are a bit dated but could not beat the price. For our purpose, it was very well located albeit not right downtown.
