À l’occasion d’un séjour entre amis nous avons été positionnés dans 2 chambres reliés. Les : la literie, la vue, l’espace Les - : cabine de douche trop étroite et serviettes de douche trop petite pour personnes d’1m80 L’hôtel est plutôt pas mal situé, facile d’accès. Les : le buffet petit-déjeuner varié, la piscine, la propreté, le personnel (polyglotte ) Les - : parking un peu trop exiguë Les dames de la réception et du ménage sont super accueillantes! Toujours le sourire :) Ils ont un système de carte fidélité qui peut être intéressant. En bref c’était sympathique!
