Pros:

Well equipped kitchen annex, comfortable bed

Cons:

Some long dead insects in a corner. The photos of the property on Booking.com show it as surrounded with threes. It is not.

Motel-type Accommodation
Pros:

The location was good. Our room was fine, fairly basic. Good parking.

Cons:

Our room was upstairs and there was no lift. If I'd known I wouldn't have booked it because I have mobility issues. The stairs were tricky for me. My bedside lamp didn't work

Ça va le séjour s’est bien passé dans l’ensemble.
Pros:

L’emplacement est super, bien placé et bel endroit avec un beau jardin.

Cons:

Les places de parking un peu juste et serrées et pas toujours de la place. Un peu bruyant les appartements, on entend les bruits de tuyauterie . Et le canapé très vieux par contre. Manque de modernité

Adequate facilities, good location
Pros:

Spacious apartment, comfortable beds, it was clean.

Cons:

Although they did have air conditioning, it’s only within the living room , meaning no AC in the bedrooms. It got a bit stuffy last night. I also didn’t like we’ve got a ground floor apartment.
