Rm1 above smoking area

The checkin was quick and easy as was check out. Our rm no1 was above a smoking area so this was unpleasant. Our coffee machine didnt work for coffee but was ok for tea. The bed waa comfortable and the shower was powerful.

Le bar à vin qui se trouve à l'entrée du bâtiment est très sympathique, et nous avons eu la bonne surprise d'entendre une playlist de chansons françaises au petit déjeuner le lendemain matin (l'effet Michel Sardou?). Personnel très sympathique!
