Personnel au top . Équipement un peu sommaire surtout par rapport au prix
Pros:

Dans une situation très particulière où nous étions « à la rue » suite à une défaillance de notre hôtel de départ, la personne à l’accueil a été d’une grande gentillesse avec un accueil parfait après bien des déboires c’était très rassurant

Cons:

L’accès est un peu compliqué à trouver d’autant que le GPS n’indique pas l’entrée exacte. Les équipements sont réduit au minimum ce qui est un peu incohérent avec le prix.
