Très médiocre
Pros:

Le roof top et le dîner

Cons:

Les chambres . Pas de drap ni de couvertures et ce n est pas une blague . Petit déjeuner catastrophique. Ouverture à 8 h du matin . Heure tardive . De plus nous avons pu avoir le café uniquement à 8h30 malgré 2 relances de note part . Petit déjeuner pas bon du tout . nous avions programmés des visites
