Personnel agréable et serviable, cadre idéal mais gros problème : les photos ne reflètent pas la réalité selon la chambre qui vous est donnée. Nous avons eu une chambre sans fenêtre, la seule manière d’aérer étant de laisser la porte ouverte.... très moyen vu la situation sanitaire actuelle du pays....

Pas de réception le samedi après midi... chambre très spacieuse et joliment décoré . Bon équipement . La poubelle de la chambre n était pas vide et il restait des cadavres de bouteilles . Petit déjeuner très copieux. Hôtel à éviter avec enfant en bas âge ( pas de chaise haute pour le petit déjeuner et la deco de la chambre fragile pour un bébé)

Excellente adresse
Un accueil agréable, une chambre spacieuse, bien décorée, bien équipée, bien conçue - le tout dans un environnement calme.
Pour ne rien gacher, des lits très confortables- et un plancher réfrigérant efficace malgré les 36 degrés extérieur tout en étant moins agressif qu’une climatisation .
Les sanitaires, la literie et la douche très propre - le sol un peu moins (tout en restant correct)
Un quasi sans faute pour notre séjour de deux nuits avec deux enfants pour un rapport qualité/prix imbattable.
Nous y retournerons.
