No air conditioning or fan. Elevator not working, no light in the hallway. Bad experience
Good staff. Terrible hotel. Problem in every room.
Room heaters very weak, almost zero. I have very good tolerance with cold, but when it's -3°C outside and the heaters almost don't work, no matter what, you'll at least hope there's hot water in the night? But no! Even hot water is not available at night, it seems to be only in the mornings. I was shivering and freezing and slept with loads of layers after hours of trying to fall asleep in the cold. Barely got in 4 hours of sleep, then went for breakfast (I had already paid for it). Half the fruits were stale, the eggs boiler was connected but even after trying 2 times of 10 min and with assistance of the staff, the eggs never boiled. I just left the hotel without proper breakfast as I did not want to be late for my business meetings, deciding I'll never ever return to this establishment again. The staff was professional, but the hotel needs serious maintenance and 24 hours assistance as bare minimum. Please avoid

Personnel très sympa qualité prix rien à redire
Petit bémol les oreillers trop mou et petit
Le personnel reste correct. Mais le reste est catastrophique. Je ne fais jamais mis d’avis négatif mais là je le fait pour les personnes qui pense que ce lieu est un hôtel. Rien n’est isolé un bruit épouvantable, tout résonne dans le couloir et l’accueil jusque dans votre chambre. J’ai loué 2 nuit . Le 1 et jour j’ai laissé ma tasse de café que j’avais utilisé sur le petit bureau. Le soir en rentrant le lit était fait mais la tasse toujours sale . Une serviette pour 2 jours . J’ai dû acheter un gel douche au lieu d’avoir ces pseudo échantillon gel douche pour me laver.

Hotel un peu vieillot, personnel agréable.
Restauration à la boucherie qui est coller à l'hôtel, qualité moyenne.
Plutôt décevant pour un trois étoiles. Pas de climatisation et pas de ménage le week-end.

Deception
Très bruyant du fait de la proximité de l’autoroute
Chambre réservée pour 2 , 1 seule serviette et une une seule pour les mains
Pas d’oreillers supplémentaire, matelas très mou et tv miniature
Velux qui fermait mal à l'étage. Le fait de ne pas avoir de climatisation mais je n'avais lu avant de réserver.
Rideaux trop court pour couvrir toute la fenêtre et vieux. Salle de bain ok.
Hôtel en partie rénové mais vieillissant, literie correcte mais les chambres sont assez mal insonorisées, les alentours ne sont pas très agréables. bon accueil du personnel
Hôtel très bien placé et pratique avec son accueil 24/24 et son grand parking. Accueil professionnel et literie ok
Seul bémol - moquette d’un autre âge qui doivent être changées
Bon équipement dans la chambre avec bouteille d'eau et plateau thé café. restaurant la porte à côté de l'accueil (La Boucherie), petit bémol sur chambre côté autoroute où on entend la circulation malgré le double vitrage dans la journée, moins le soir avec le volet fermé et la circulation moindre. Bonne connexion wi-fi

Disliked: Room comfort
A fuir manque de professionnalisme total
Acceuil du personnel de nuit en pijama : inadmissible du jamais vu manque de professionnalisme
Chambre non chauffée
Réclamation d'un chauffage d'appoint, le personnel nous reponds qu'il y a des plaides a disposition : sans commentaire
Et que dire lors de la demande de changement de chambres madame toque au chambres voisine pour voir la disponibilité a 23h au lieu de vérifié sur l'interface
l'accueil a été parfait, mais je crois qu'il serait bon que les directeurs d'établissement prennent le temps de dormir dans les chambres qu'ils proposent à leurs clients. entre le radiateur à 30cm de la tête de lit, et surtout le bruit continu de fluide dans le mur (radiateur arrêté il s'entend); j'ai eu le sentiment de dormir à coté d'un robinet qui coule en permanence, donc déçu que cette chambre ne soit pas à la hauteur
