Pros:

I did not have breakfast as I didn’t know if it was included and I had a long day of driving ahead of me.p

Cons:

Perhaps I should have researched the breakfast option before. If it was included I missed the option.

Convenient location, pet friendly, room was clean and comfortable!
Pros:

The room was comfortable. With a fire fighters convention going on, I thought it would be noisy but it wasn’t! I like that the hotel is pet friendly and our room had no carpet in it, plus we could open a window!

Cons:

Usually, a hotel offers lotion, shower cap in the room but there was nothing! They did have shampoo, conditioner, shower gel in dispensers! I would’ve liked a shower cap! Especially for the price we paid!

Dans l’ensemble plaisant mais pour se qui est de la facturation c’est mauvais
Pros:

La majorité du personnel était super, les salles étaient accueillantes, les repas étaient bons.

Cons:

La piscine n’était pas accessible et la facture n’était pas la même que sur booking. Il ne voulait pas nous fournir la facture et mais lorsqu’ils ont acceptés de la donner, la facture du prix payer et celle sur booking n’était pas la même car ils n’ont pas appréciés que nous passions par booking plutôt que par eux.

Chambre correcte mais les repas peu appréciés.
Pros:

La chambre est bien et bon matelas. Aucun produit d'hygiène sauf savon et shampoing.

Cons:

Nous avions un souper de groupe : soupe, mets principal, café ou thé TIÈDE
pâtes à la carbonara : lardons nombreux et peu cuits (non croustillants)

Petit déjeuner buffet : tous les mets étaient vraiment tièdes ou froids. Les rôties froides et élastiques. Un grille-pain commercial serait nécessaire!!!
