"La salle de bain est un peu exiguë. Le petit déjeuner était bon et de qualité, sauf les minis pains aux grains qui étaient immangeables pour 2 sur les trois (nous étions trois). J'ai difficilement pour casser le mien en deux à deux mains. Bien situé et parking public à proximité."

"Wonderful stay—highly recommended! Upon arrival, the receptionists were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, which set a great tone for our stay. The room was perfectly clean and came equipped with an espresso coffee machine, which was a lovely touch. We also really enjoyed the good breakfast. Although we didn't have time to use all the amenities the hotel has to offer, like the spa and the outdoor pool, we had a fantastic experience. We will definitely return if we are back in the area!"
