Un séjour agréable et fort pratique grâce aux équipements de la chambre et à l’emplacement de l’hôtel.
Pros:

L’emplacement et l’amabilité du personnel.

Cons:

La porte de la salle de bain ne fermait pas car un tableau a été cloué au mur. Le clou a traversé le mur et bloqué la porte. Il a fallu tirer sur la porte pour qu’elle ferme.
Un soir de forte pluie, de l’eau s’est infiltrée par le plafond et traversé les ampoules encastrées. J’ai donc reçu des gouttes sur moi, dans mon lit mais le personnel a pris des mesures dès le lendemain et m’a changé de chambre.
