The front desk clerks were very pleasant and always greeted us. The breakfast was very good. My only wish is that they would provide more than 1 pillow per bed and a hand towel in the bathroom.

Bonjour Mme, Je viens de prendre connaissance de votre note concernant votre séjour chez nous. J'aimerais bien savoir quand même ce qui justifie un simple "Horrible". Pesée vos mots… Les chambres sont plus grande que la moyen des hôtel de même catégorie, les lits sont équipée des dernier matelas Bultex 16cm d'épaisseur 160x200. Le contrôle du ménage est fait soigneusement et nous avons que très peu de retour négatif a ce sujet. Je suis donc très serein quant à la qualité de celui ci. Vous disposez également d'un grand nombre de chaine TV, d'un sèche cheveux etc... Concernant le Buffet petit déjeuner celui-ci est varié avec un large choix établis par la chaine B&B. Si vous avez eu un problème avec un salarié ou autre merci de me précisez le pourquoi du comment que j'en prenne connaissance.Sincèrement
Easy access to major roads
Clean modern budget hotel
Friendly staff

Really helpful and good value room and breakfast. Had evening meal in nearby Campanile restaurant and received discount. Very kind and helpful staff us large good disabled room. Only suggestion for improvement would be automatic doors as hard to hold and get in... needs 2.

Great room very suitable for disabled. Good buffet breakfast. Lovely helpful staff. Only downside the front door was not automatic so takes 2 to get in. Breakfast area compact. We managed but other than this would have been 5/5. Will book again

We got there late and couldn't get the automatic check in machine to work properly. Fortunately a hotel receptionist appeared. He sort of ignored us and went into the office but then at 4 PM, the hour the office was supposed to reopen it did and he was then very friendly and helpful. I think our problem was cultural differences at first. There is not much in the immediate area of the hotel but it is a short drive to downtown Bordeaux and the hotel was an excellent value
Unassuming hotel, pet friendly, clean rooms, basic breakfast (not free). It's perfect to stay the night if you have somewhere else to be because there's nothing around.

WE have stayed there three times now, but were a little disappointed with the beds - a bit plank type. Staff are helpful, friendly and the place is always looking good. Breakfast adequate when travelling to get you on the road.
Location was brilliant as we were travelling from UK to Spain.I had seen this hotel from the ring road previously, as it looks pink at night, and I will stay here again as it is better than its rivals.
This hotel is a newer, clean hotel that has ample, free parking. The rooms are good size with complete bathrooms and good showers. Breakfast costs 6.80 euros, but it is worth it. The location of the hotel makes it easy to get out to wine country or head into downtown Bordeaux.

Functional hotel but a long way from Bordeaux
Too far from Bordeaux centre and not well connected by public transport. Taxis to the centre very expensive.
We had a wonderful time here - mainly because of the manager who was so lovely and helpful- nothing was too much trouble. The best hotel for service I have stayed at. If France was not undergoing tram strikes our stay here would have been perfect. It is not in central Bordeaux so getting in and out during a strike is a little difficult - you will need to pay for a taxi - about 50 euros each way.
Good hotel for a good price. There is not much service to talk about as it was all self service - gaining entry to hotel and to the room from a machine outside. Room was clean and comfortable. All in all I am a satisfied customer for the cost and self service.
Just an overnight stopover on a long Journey home. Absolutely perfect for our needs at a reasonable price. If I take this route again I will be sure to use this hotel again. Only issue was parking as by the late time we arrived all spaces were occupied.
An excellent hotel for an overnight stay, welcoming and helpful staff, rooms very clean, breakfast good. 5 min drive tram to centre of Bordeaux (4.50 euro to park car for day and 2 people return to Bordeaux) and 15 minute drive from Airport. Very competitive rates
We had our room beside the highway, a bit noisy. Other than that, everything was great, from the room to the service, especially from Pascal (hope I got his name right), perfect gentleman and very friendly with a good sense of humour.
Very basic, but very clean. Perfect for those needing to stop for a rest on route. Fully automated for check in, so no worries about late arrival time. Have your booking number handy though. The computer didn't recognize the credit card the reservation was purchased with. A simple breakfast is offered too, but closes at 9:45, so no dawdling.
I recently stayed at this hotel with my wife and our pet dog.
As we left the room for about one hour to eat dinner, we were approached by one of the male staff who basically ordered us to take our dog with us to the restaurant.
We told him it wasn't possible.
He got very angry and told us we would not be allowed to stay there in the future.
Our dog was very quiet and we payed extra for him to stay.
The way we were treated was rude and very unprofessional.
The rest of the staff were excellent. Just this one ill mannered gentleman who likes to treat customers like dirt...
