We arrived to discover that the accessible room that we had booked was not available. After much discussion we discovered that the error was on the part of the third party agent through which we booked and not the hotel! The third party agent shows images and provides information that gives the impression that all superior double rooms have facilities for a guest with mobility issues- This is not the case. However the staff were very dismissive- “well you booked through a third party and not direct, it’s your problem “. One of our rooms was full of ants - again the staff really didn’t care.

Tout est chouette dans cet hôtel, juste ne pas se garer à gauche de la réception, et devoir partir tôt, il se pourrait qu’un camion vous bloque.... et ne bouge pas malgré la requête.... je devais partir travailler.... j’ai eu 25 min de retard.... et aucune empathie, ni du livreur, ni du réceptionniste qui installait le petit déjeuner à ce moment-là......

Le personnel ( 2 dames ) en charge du petit déjeuner ont été tellement adorables et prévenantes . Un vrai plaisir de bien commencer la journée. L’hôtel est au milieu d’une zone commerciale donc pas de charme mais par contre hyper pratique pour une escale reposante. Une borne permet d’arriver à 2h du matin si besoin et le petit dej est servi jusqu’à 10h . Chambre avec Clim silencieuse. Bref je recommande chaudement pour une étape .

Bon séjour, le personnel est chaleureux et à notre écoute. Gros plus sur la Clim en période de canicule. L’emplacement de l’hôtel est pratique, dans une zone commerciale, très accessible en voiture. En revanche, s’il faut venir en transport ce n’est pas le plus idéal. Seul petit bémol : les photos sur le site Hôtel.com, l’hôtel n’est pas vers la mer. Les chambres sont propres (mais mal insonorisées). Quand au petit déjeuner, il est varié et correct. Merci à toute L’équipe !
