L’emplacement

Les lits étaient horribles, très inconfortable et une femme a hurlé, crié de minuit à 3 heures du matin ! Difficile de dormir !

Une nuit ok, mais pas envie de passer une deuxième nuit, content de partir le lendemain matin.
Pros:

Personnel agréable.
Facile de garer sa voiture.
Les lits d'assez bonne qualité.
Le petit déjeuner continental très bien.
Le ménage est bien fait, mais l'ensemble de la chambre est vielli.

Cons:

Trop cher par rapport à la qualité de la chambre.
La moquette nécessite un changement.
La salle de bain est médiocre.
Vraiment, la qualité n'est pas à la hauteur du prix bien trop élevé !

Very good if younger
Pros:

Breakfast Excellent Choices staff could not be faulted nothing was to much trouble, room was very clean with a lovely view

Cons:

As a couple of 76 & 87 the stairs were a bit of a challenge had we been 10 yrs younger no problem , we where warned but did not realise how steep the stairs where. Apart from that everything was fine and we accept that a building that age is not perfect (much like us Ha Ha ) would stay again if not for that

Pros:

- A szállás közelsége a városközponthoz

Cons:

- A WC körül állt a víz, ami, folyamatosan volt
- Több mint 40 perc múlva lett melegvíz, tusoláskor, ami 3 percig tartott, utána hideg lett...
- A kétszemélyes ágy nagyon kicsi, ketten, nem fértünk el rajta rendesen!
- Februárban foglaltam szállást és leírtam, hogy kutyával jövünk augusztusban, de csak a második emeletre kaptunk szobát, ami valójában a harmadik.. - ja, a lift több éve nem működik!
És fontos: a szobában, nincs fürdőszoba, hanem pár lépcsőfokkal alatta található egy másik szoba és az a fürdő!

A Motelt, szerintem fel kellene újítani, nagyon oda van!!!
