We booked the wrong dates and tried to change. Hotels.com staff couldn’t change the booking as no one at the hotel spoke English. We tried via email and never got a response, so asked our French Airbnb hosts to call, hotel refused to do anything over the phone and said they would reply to our email. Never heard from them. Terrible customer service avoid like the plague

Ok for a stop over, managed to find a lovely bar nearby, the atmosphere in the hotel bar was not for us. If you have mobility problems check your room is not in the area where there are flights of stairs & no lift.

Simple no frills

The hotel is central, my room was quiet, very basic and clean. The bedding was thin and I really got cold in the night. Parking is secure. Good for the cheap price.

Chambre avec odeur de cendrier !!! Horrible mes affaires puaient le tabac , il est Ă©vident que cette chambre a hĂ©berger un fumeur sur une longue durĂ©e imprĂ©gnĂ© dans les mur , les toilettes !! Atroce vraiment. MAIS Vraiment a vomir !!!! Évidemment rien n'a Ă©tĂ© fait pour essayer d'enlever l'odeur durant cette semaine !! Je suis chef d'entreprise! Des gens squattes le hall la nuit . Dorment sur des fauteuils avec des odeurs rĂ©pugnantes. Regard agressif car oui je partais Ă  5 heure travailler ! Et donc je les gĂȘnait... on marche sur la tĂȘte ! Vous ne pouvez pas ouvrir les fenĂȘtres le soir car il y a constamment des odeurs de cannabis . .. Je ne sais pas ce qui se passe dans cet hĂŽtel mais ç'est inadmissible. Je suis venu a plusieurs reprise depuis 2021 . Mais lĂ  je ne viendrai plus car ça a bien changĂ© !! Ils ont choisis leur clientĂšle apparemment.... La rĂ©ception vous envoies des sms avec une faute Ă  chaque mots .. pathĂ©tique . A fuir clairement !

Personnel trÚs gentil et à l'écoute. La planche apéro était trÚs bonne ainsi que le petit déjeuner qui était parfait. Le seul petit bémol concerne le ménage de la chambre(pas mal de poussiÚres) et le bruit dans le couloir la nuit. Nous reviendrons merci
