Hôtel vieillissant, mais bon rapport qualité prix
Pros:

La localisation est vraiment top et le personnel attentionné !

Cons:

Les chambres sont vraiment vieilles,
La moquette au sol âgée laisse une impression peu hygiénique,
Les salles de bains ont encore les sèches cheveux accrochés au mur des années 80,
Ça ne reflète pas la marque Novotel, ni un 4 étoiles.
