Décevant et peu bienveillant
Pros:

L'emplacement parfait.
Le bar/restaurant "Cognac" en bas très sympa et nourriture assez bonne.
Belle vue quand on une chambre d'angle.
Lit confortable.

Cons:

150 dollars par nuit en plus pour mon petit chien dans la chambre et même pas une gamelle en inox pour lui donner à boire. C'est délirant !!!!!!!
J'ai payé pour que mon fils dorme dans le sofa bad et on ne m'a donné qu'un seul drap et pas de housse de couette ????
Pas de serviette éponge pour mon fils, seulement deux pour les parents.

Great hotel with an unpleasant surprise.
Pros:

Whereas the hotel and room were beautiful and the staff very friendly and helpful. I noticed on our final charge days after that I was charged for a mini-bar item in-which our 3 guests DID NOT consume during our stay. This was not rectified.

Cons:

How long it took to check in due to international bank delay, wish it could have been an option to sort it next morning as I was rather tired from travels

Bonne localisation mais hôtel à raffraichir
Pros:

Très bon emplacement, chambre spacieuse et lit comfortable

Cons:

La chambre n’était pas correctement refaite à chaque fois, on n’a du réclamer plusieurs fois du savon, des verres, des bouteilles d’eau. La chambre était vieillotte, avec une salle de bain abîmé. On n’a eu une salle de bain PMR ce qui a changé notre expérience.
Les espaces communs n’était pas accueillant. Il n’y avais pas de réel lobby. Mauvaise communication avec le staff.
