Pros:

The hotel is quiet and well positioned. The parking is very secure and a great selection of breakfasts.

Cons:

It now seems to be fashionable to be "pet friendly ", what it really means is that "we'll take an extra €20 from you to let your dog sleep on the floor". We paid €80 for a double room, breakfast included ( 2 x €15) so actually €50 for the room, €25 each. So, only €5 less to let the dog sleep on the floor, using no bathroom products, seems a bit steep.

Expérience décevante
Pros:

La gentillesse du personnel et le petit dejeuner

Cons:

Etablissement vieillot, piscine pas ouverte alors que c'était un critère de sélection, bruyant du côté route. Ne justifie pas 4 étoiles
