Nous avons passée une bonne nuit.
Pros:

Bien situé, parking privé, chambre confortable, personnel particulièrement souriante et agréable. Nous ne sommes restés qu’une nuit mais c’était très bien. Petit plus : notre petit chien a été accepté dans l’ensemble de l’établissement. On nous as même proposé de le garder dans la salle du petit déjeuner.

Cons:

Légèrement bruyant selon les voisins de chambre qui respecte les autres ou non (claquement de porte, mégot laisser dans un gobelet sur la terrasse, parle fort dans le couloir ..) mais ça l’hôtel n’y peut rien.
