Bien pour une étape d’une nuit. Système d’ouverture de porte pas au point
Pros:

Bon emplacement permettant un parking facile et de rejoindre rapidement des axes importants. Équipement récent et de bonne qualité. Accueil simple mais chaleureux.

Cons:

Absence de table ou d’un mobilier permettant de déposer des affaires. Télévision en face de la porte de la chambre et non orientable. Système d’ouverture de porte de la chambre particulièrement long et mal compris de clients qui nous ont réveillé en pleine nuit en manipulant bruyamment la porte une vingtaine de fois.
