I enjoyed my night here. The reception guy was really helpful. There’s a restaurant/diner next door where they have 15% discount. It was practical and much better than the B&B Hotel which I mistakenly booked for the following week.
The hotel was a little run down however it was nice enough for our night’s stay. It was clean and the lady on reception was very helpful. There was a decent steak restaurant next door and the vicinity seemed safe and quiet.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
There was some kind of problem with the family room we booked so ended up with a twin and a double. The lady on reception however was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Free breakfast provided by way of apology. Rooms were quite dated but pretty much as expexced for the price we paid, so decent value
The room was perfectly adequate, the person at the desk was really helpful and added bonus a restaurant was next to the hotel. Also the price was very competitive. Thank you, i would recommend.
Lovely staff, clean rooms, small but there was only me in a double room.so okay. Bed was very firm but okay. We didn't have breakfast but it smelled great! Lovely people and a great pit stop. Restaurant right next door was super handy too!
Good stop over hotel with ample parking. Staff very helpful and friendly. The manager is also looking to improve the hotel. We chose a small room which was very small especially having a dog. However, it served a purpose. Excellent shower. Restaurant adjacent for which you get a 15% discount. Food was fine but we didn't find the staff that friendly.
I messsged to say I would arrive in the early hours of the morning (twice) and did not hear anything back. When I arrived the 24/7 check in machine was turned off and I had to sleep in the car. I expect a full refund
Very convenient and easy to find.
Reception not open till 5pm was inconvenient.
I bought breakfast and went down at 7 as per details, but no sign of anyone or anything. Don't know what's happening there.
The photos shown in the advertising of this hotel didn’t resemble the room we stayed in, in desperate need of modernisation/repair, shower broken, handle from shower room missing, meaning if you shut the door you would not be able to get out, unless someone was in the room. Room was smelly, no lamp shades.
We arrived around 10pm and after finding the hotel, which has its sign obscured by a tree, we couldn’t get in as the main gate was closed, had a intercom on the gate, only to hear a recording in French. There is a restaurant next to the hotel which we went to ask, but then noticed a side gate to the hotel, went in and managed to find someone, who opened the gate to let us drive in, checked in and the person on the desk tried to get us to pay the local tax, which we had already paid when we booked.
It was late and we have had a long drive from the south of France, so just stayed, didn’t bother with breakfast as just wanted to leave. My advice do not stay at this hotel, and I don’t think it should be on the Expedia site. Definitely wasn’t worth the money we paid.
