Pros:

J’ai particulièrement apprécié les nombreux équipements et petites attentions proposés : machine à laver, salle de sport, produits de soin, café et friandises à disposition. L’hôtel est très soigné et agréable, avec de beaux espaces extérieurs. Gros coup de cœur pour le jardin privatif de la chambre, parfaitement isolé des regards, qui apporte un vrai sentiment d’intimité et de tranquillité.

Very accessible and relatively safe location.
Pros:

Good location. Easy to go in and out. The room is comfortable. Stayed on first floor of two-story building, very close to the office, breakfast area, water and ice station.

Cons:

Breakfast not as good as in two previous visits. Nonetheless, there were some healthy options.
