Pros:

Meget tiltalende sted, som absolutt kan anbefales. Hyggelig betjening. Hadde kontakt på telefon angående kveldsmat, og fikk opplyst at vi kunne spise i bistroen. Det ble ikke opplyst at det eneste som kunne brstilles var en dagsmeny med tre retter, og ikke fritt valg fra menyen som vi fant på nettet.

Séjour
Pros:

Une nuit dans le cadre d'une halte sur notre trajet.
L'établissement est tres beau. Les chambres sont cependant petites, l'isolation sonore est catastrophique que ce soit de l'extérieur (côté route, fenetre en simple vitrage...) également côté couloir.
L'acceuil est agréable, le personnel est serviable.
Le petit déjeuner est quant à lui très minime pour le prix de 15€, passez votre chemin et privilégiez la boulangerie du coin.

Bel hotel et beau restaurant
Pros:

Hotel très confortable. Accueil sympathique et efficace.
Décoration intérieure moderne, mais soignée. Les chambres sont grandes et confortables. Il manque juste la possibilité de se faire un petit café en journée (pas de machine dans la chambre).
Le lit est très grand et confortable.
Le restaurant est très bon : repas Bistronomique à un tarif très correct.

Nice hotel, clean room, bath and parking. We missed the coffee machine in the room and too much light in the restaurant

Pros:

Rien à rajouter à l’évaluation qui est top +++

Tout est parfait, y compris le restaurant.

À renouveler sans modération (c’est déjà prévu pour l’année prochaine), et en + on va faire de la pub !!

Pros:

The staff are welcoming and attentive, I attempted to speak French and when in difficulty found English understood by several staff members. The food & drink quality cannot be faulted, the room and communal areas very clean, WiFi works well :))
On the downside, the bath has a tap with shower attachment but no shower curtain, water inevitably splashes into the bathroom and makes the floor slippy. There was a problem with the bill, additional alcoholic drinks we had not consumed, check your bill carefully. Overall a good experience, the location is perfect for us for a stopover near the autoroute de Soleil.

Pros:

Chambre très propre, rien à dire.
Salle de bain et wc d'une autre époque, autre génération. Manque douche plutôt qu'une baignoire
On ne peut pas tout rénover en même temps, prochaine tranche d'investissement peut-être ......:)

Très bien, dommage que la prestation de recharge d'une voiture soit proposée à 10€, hyper cher quand le véhicule est un hybride rechargeable.

Bof
Pros:

L'hôtel est bien dans son ensemble mais j'ai été très déçus par la qualité de la chambre et de la literie.
Pour plus de 100 euros la nuit on peut s'attendre a un peu plus de confort, bouilloire, café, thé, grande tv,... mais rien de tout ça.
