Staff repeatedly praised as friendly, professional and welcoming (reception, restaurant, housekeeping, spa staff); one review reported very rude staff, so overall sentiment is positive but with isolated negative experience.
Location

Many guests highlight a very good location and easy parking; a few mention the hotel sits in an industrial area, so location sentiment is mostly positive with some caveats.

Cons:

Pulizia pessima, siamo entrati in stanza ed era presente un asciugamano piccolo sporco non si sa di cosa. Siamo stati tre giorni senza sapone perché gli addetti alle pulizie non ce lo hanno riempito. Addirittura la domenica siamo rientrati alle 17 in struttura e non ci hanno proprio fatto le pulizie. Le dimensioni della camera erano veramente minuscole, assolutamente non per due persone. Gli asciugamani ruvidi assolutamente non adatti ad un hotel 4 stelle.

Le calme, loin du centre ville.

Je recommande !
Pros:

L'hôtel est vraiment confortable et doté d'équipements de qualité. Le spa est très agréable et le prix est raisonnable. La piscine est peut-être un peu petite compte tenu du nombre de personnes logeant à l'hôtel mais elle reste très agréable. Le petit déjeuner est délicieux (mention spéciale pour les oeufs brouillés !). Le personnel est accueillant. La petite salle de fitness contenant quelques matériels est un plus.

Cons:

L'hôtel est difficilement accessible à pied ou en transport en commun. Il faut venir en voiture ou en louer une pour y accéder confortablement. Néanmoins, un grand parking gratuit est à disposition.
