Une déception
Pros:

Le logement qui nous a été finalement attribué était tout à fait convenable mais excentré alors que nous pensions dormir à l'hôtel. Décevant car nous aurions aimé profiter du coeur de village au lieu de nous retrouver au rez-de-chaussée d'une maison dans un lotissement à 1,5 kms de l'hôtel.

Cons:

On nous a demandé de faire notre réservation en ligne alors que nous étions dans l'hôtel. Une fois la réservation faite, on nous annonce que les WC et la salle de bains sont en commun et on nous présente une chambre microscopique avec un lit dans lequel je ne pouvais pas dormir vue ma taille.

Confort pas top mais expérience inoubliable.
Pros:

Emplacement central. Bâtiment historique. Très bon restaurant interne. Charme désuet d’une bâtisse fin 19e.
Expérience inoubliable et très abordable.
Personnel adorable.

Cons:

Soirée karaoke (le dimanche) sous ma fenêtre. Impossible de dormir jusqu’à minuit. Emplacement assez bruyant. Chambre spartiate, salle de bain antique.
