An up to date hotel with and restaurant on site made for an accommodating stay.
Pros:

The property was clean and up to date and the staff were friendly.

Cons:

I have a score of 9/10 only because the live band played until 11 pm and the walls are “thin”. Nothing major and we would have joined the festivities had we not been so tired from travel.

Endroit idéal pour visiter la région.
Pros:

Tout allait bien : l'accueil, la gentillesse du personnel qui est à l'écoute de sa clientele, l'agencement de la chambre, le calme et le parking comme atout.

Cons:

Tout allait bien, peut-être d'avoir des chaises et une table dans la chambre, sera appéciable.
