Séjour fort agréable
Pros:

Grande chambre qui donnait sur l' arrière cour, très calme et confortable, petit déjeuner tout à fait correct. Accès à une fontaine d'eau plate ou pétillante apprécié, possibilité d'avoir un café ou un thé à la réception la journée. Personnel gentil surtout la réceptionniste aux cheveux blonds.

Cons:

Manque une étagère dans la grande salle de bains et un petit kit d' hygiène serait 'e bienvenue (seulement du savon liquide).
