Worst accomodation ever.
Pros:

Most disappointing place I've ever stayed

Cons:

Was supposed to be 3 star hotel with bed and breakfast. When we arrived a lady told us it was Continental breakfast and it was in the room. The room smelled bad and cushions and chairs smelled and were visibly dirty. Very much false advertising.

Pour une nuit.
Pros:

Correct dans l’ensemble. Dommage que le petit déjeuner soit mis à disposition dans la chambre et qu’il ne contienne que des produits froids. Yaourt, fruits,céréales, confiture, beurre, pain au chocolat et croissant(sous cellophane), ni œufs, ni bacon, ni haricots/tomates, ni saucisse.

Cons:

Pas de petit déjeuner anglais ex traditionnel. Que du froid.

Pros:

Zentrale Lage mitten im Ort, öffentliche Parkplätze vor der Tür. Problemloser telefonischer Kontakt wegen der schlüsselübergabe. Das Frühstück war schon für den nächsten Morgen vorbereite im Zimmer, verpacktes Brot, ein kleiner Obstkorb, Joghurt und sogar Milch im Kühlschrank.

Cons:

Kein wifi. Es gibt keinen Schrank für Bekleidung, keinen Kleiderbügel um eine Jacke aufzuhängen., ein Fenster lässt sich nicht abdunkeln.

We were very disappointed in the hotel - thankfully it was only for one night.
Pros:

We didn’t like anything about the property. The bed linen and towels were clean though.

Cons:

Didn’t see a member of staff whilst we were there: when we arrived there was a note on the door with a phone number - I called and was advised we should go upstairs to our room and the key was on the outside of the door. Continental breakfast was already in the room.

Pros:

Good for local buses and supermarkets

Cons:

For a hotel, it was poor, you had to wash up your own dishes and cutlery if staying longer that 1 day. It was on a little table in your room, with no dining area..
