Très bien situé, facile d'accès, confortable mais lumineux
Pros:

Très bien situé, au coeur du village ! Beaucoup de restaurants, magasins et un supermarché en face.
La chambre était grande, les équipements neufs
Petit déjeuner froid uniquement mais suffisant
Pain et céréales sans gluten au petit-déjeuner

Cons:

Grandes fenêtres avec des rideaux très légers ; de la lumière dans la chambre suffisante pour lire, même en plein milieu de la nuit..
Quelques options chaudes au petit-déjeuner auraient été les bienvenues
Pas d'ascenseur mais seulement 2 étages maximum
