The hotel was extremely clean, inviting and a modern tasteful interior decor. The staff were helpful and professional during various times during my stay. The breakfast buffet offered a huge variety of healthy and delicious foods every day which I participated in. I had the classic room for myself. The room was spacious, comfortable, clean and modern. The hotel also offered a lobby comfortable to relax in as well as a fitness area. I can’t say enough positive remarks about Hotel Appolonaire and their staff.
