"Excellent hôtel très bien situé! C’était assez tranquille la nuit même si c’était près de plusieurs pubs. Nous avons adoré y séjourner et le recommandons fortement. Lit confortable, chambre assez grande. Nous avons opté pour deux lits simples afin de bien dormir car dans la description ce n’était pas trop claire si c’était des lits King size et nous n’avons pas regretter, les lits étaient collée donc c’était tout comme!

"We' stayed at this beautiful property once before, and we loved the cool, sleek design of the rooms. But the first issue I noticed this time was the mold growing in the floor and shower grout. The water pressure was low and nor hot in th mornings, and the sink and the shower had drainage issues. Also, it would have been helpful to have more lighting over the sink area, as it was difficult to see into the mirror with only a makeup mirror light . These issues need to be dealt with, especially the mold. It would be such a disappointment to see this lovely hotel continue to go down in quality like it is beginning to. Otherwise, it's in a fabulous location...close to everything!"
