Perfect stopover on the way to Italy, relaxing luxury hotel not far from autoroute
Pros:

Upgraded to better room. All staff were helpful and seemed very happy in their jobs. Very high class public areas. Plenty of parking. Easy to find.

Cons:

Layout of hotel a little confusing at the start & dinners a little more expensive than I would have liked, though food quality was excellent

Plongeon dans un bain de détente
Pros:

La terrasse qui sent bon la Provence : lauriers roses, pin et cigales! Un bonheur.
Le lit confortable, une chambre tempérée et une salle de bain avec une grande douche. Merci de m’avoir apporté une chaise car je suis handicapée. Il reste à y installer une barre pour s’accrocher.

Cons:

L’emplacement pour la voiture d’une personne handicapée est tout petit voire inexistant devant l’établissement

Agréable séjour
Pros:

Nous avons aimé le cadre de l'hôtel, les espaces extérieurs, la literie et le calme. Nous étions à la chambre 236.

Cons:

La chambre mériterait un petit rafraîchissement (quelques traces sur les murs...) même si elle reste très agréable.
