Personnel is really good and willing to deliver a great service. The problem is the hotel itself. It was and old hospital. It’s kind of creepy when you walk through the aisles and see the floor with the yellow lines, the doors, floors, walls and toilettes of a hospital or nursing home

Séjour un peu décevant par rapport à la propreté des sanitaires, une petite remise en état ne serait pas du luxe (chauffage rouillé, jet de la douche vraiment pas puissant, ménage limite). La fenêtre de la chambre qui se referme très mal, donc nous ne l'avons plus ouverte de peur qu'elle nous reste dans les mains, nous l'avons signalé à une dame qui nous a conseillé de taper dessus pour la fermer. Sinon pour le non wifi nous avons bien compris pourquoi il n'y en avait pas cela n'était pas un problème. Par contre nous avons passé 2 mauvaises nuits, dérangés par les portes des chambres qui claquent et les enfants qui jusqu'à plus de minuit courent et crient dans le couloir, souci remonté le matin et il nous a été indiqué qu'en effet le veilleur de nuit avait passé sa nuit à faire le calme. Concernant le personnel, nous n'avons absolument rien à redire, accueil sympathique.
