Extrêmement décevant je n’y retournerai jamais
Pros:

Personnel très gentil. Petit déjeuner très bon et très copieux

Cons:

Très très très déçue des soins. Je n’ai pas pu avoir de rdv pour aucun massage, très très décevant. Car l’établissement ferme dans une semaine. Si j’en avais été informée avant je n’aurais certainement pas réservé!!! Aucun geste commercial! Les chambres sont vraiment trop petites pour le prix

Pobyt w tym hotelu zepsuł nam cały wyjazd do Normandii
Cons:

W całym hotelu był nieprzyjemny zapach wilgoci i pleśni. W naszym pokoju na wykładzinie stała woda, hlupala pod nogami . W szafie stała woda na podłodze , zamokły nam ubrania. Przez trzy doby personel nie mógł znaleźć nam innego pokoju . Pan recepcjonista Antoine był cyniczny i nieprzyjemny.

Je recommande cet endroit
Pros:

Le personnel est très agréable. Les chambres sont confortables et très propres. Le restaurant est très correct. Seul petit bémol le spa est légèrement vieillissant mais il semblerait qu’il va être refait cet hiver. Nous avons passé un très bon week-end.

Cons:

Spa légèrement vieillissant
