Very pleasant stay! The hotel was clean and well maintained. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. The breakfast was excellent, with a great selection of fresh and tasty options. A special mention for the air conditioning, it worked perfectly and kept the room cool and comfortable, which was absolutely essential during the current heatwave with temperatures above 40°C in France. I would definitely stay here again (I have another reservation for next week) and recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Superb value for money. Marvellous staff - really friendly and enthusiastic , especially the lady serving at dinner! A little care worn on the inside and out, but if you’re looking for value and convenience then this place fits the bill. Decent dinner and breakfast. Free parking, ok for cars, a bit tight if you’ve got a LWB van.

Room and bedding were clean and fresh. Bed and pillows comfortable. Restaurant was clean, staff were very pleasant, food was good. Info on Expedia should be more clear for people arriving on Sunday. Check-in not until 5. I arrived early, not knowing this, but the staff worked very hard to prepare my room early. Thank you. Also, the restaurant is not open on Sunday. Secure storage for my velo.

Un très bon restaurant avec un petit déjeuner très correct. Possibilité de déjeuner à l'extérieur. Un personnel accueillant et serviable. Une chambre très propre mais un peu vieillissante (salle de bain). Et surtout un très bon rapport qualité/prix.

L'hôtel est délabré, malgré de petits travaux de "bricolage". L'hôtel est très bruyant, la VMC de la salle de bain est en panne. L'établissement mérite d'être démoli et reconstruit totalement. J'oubliais, 2 cm de jour sous la porte de ma chambre. Du jamais vu en 15 ans de déplacement. Le personnel est sympathique.
