Pros:

Emplacement top.
Hôtel charmant comme on en voit rarement.
Personnel très serviable.
La présence d'une piscine est un plus.
La présence d'un parking est également très rassurante.

Cons:

Les plages horaires du petit déjeuner pourraient être étendues.
La proposition de produits locaux ou d'une spécialité correspondrait bien au style du bâtiment.

Non recommandable, sauf travaux...
Pros:

La piscine est un plus indéniable par ces fortes chaleurs
Petit déjeuner correct, pas de chaud ...
Parking extérieur sur place

Cons:

Attente à l'accueil, réceptionniste au téléphone un certain temps (en forte canicule ce jour-là)
Chambre très petite, à peine de quoi poser de petites valises (il a fallu les poser sur le bureau)
rien pour poser nos casques de motards
Pas de prises électriques à la tête de lit
La climatisation est très faible, à peine rafraîchissante
pas de plateau de courtoisie ni de bouteille d'eau fraîche de bienvenue
Distributeur de boissons aux bouteilles tièdes (1,50€ les 50cl)
Pas de personnel au petit déjeuner 🤔
Propreté des lieux à revoir comme l'ensemble de l'établissement
Dommage c'est un hôtel avec beaucoup de charme

I guess you could say the hotel has a welcoming faded charm - it is charmingly homely. If we had wanted bland, glitzy
Pros:

Well, it was our second time there and we shall be very happy to go again

Cons:

Nothing to dislike or complain about.
