bien pour une nuit en itinérance
Pros:

Petit déjeuner correct avec des fruits frais
Parking privé
Arrivée tardive possible avec une personne pour nous accueillir

Cons:

la chambre est proposée pour 3 adultes et il est indiqué lors de la réservation 1 lit double et 1 lit simple alors qu'en fait il y a un lit double et un lit d'appoint donc plutôt pour un couple et un enfant.

La gentillesse du personnel. Et le petit déjeuner très bon et de qualité

Cons:

La chambre était sale, l’aspirateur n’a pas été passé depuis un moment. Pas de drap sur le 2 eme lit et la couette une horreur toute sale. C’est désolant !
