Disliked: Staff & service
We booked the wrong dates and tried to change. Hotels.com staff couldn’t change the booking as no one at the hotel spoke English. We tried via email and never got a response, so asked our French Airbnb hosts to call, hotel refused to do anything over the phone and said they would reply to our email. Never heard from them. Terrible customer service avoid like the plague

Ok for a stop over, managed to find a lovely bar nearby, the atmosphere in the hotel bar was not for us. If you have mobility problems check your room is not in the area where there are flights of stairs & no lift.

The hotel is central, my room was quiet, very basic and clean. The bedding was thin and I really got cold in the night. Parking is secure. Good for the cheap price.

Très bon séjour. Hôtel proche de la gare et des restos. Nous avons été très bien accueillis. Chambre confortable. Le petit bémol serait d’avoir un rideau ou une porte pour la douche même si elle est dans un renforcement, car étant avec des enfants ou des amis cela pourrait être gênant. Je recommande cet hôtel.
