The hotel was a little run down however it was nice enough for our night’s stay. It was clean and the lady on reception was very helpful. There was a decent steak restaurant next door and the vicinity seemed safe and quiet.

Good stop over hotel with ample parking. Staff very helpful and friendly. The manager is also looking to improve the hotel. We chose a small room which was very small especially having a dog. However, it served a purpose. Excellent shower. Restaurant adjacent for which you get a 15% discount. Food was fine but we didn't find the staff that friendly.

The photos shown in the advertising of this hotel didn’t resemble the room we stayed in, in desperate need of modernisation/repair, shower broken, handle from shower room missing, meaning if you shut the door you would not be able to get out, unless someone was in the room. Room was smelly, no lamp shades. We arrived around 10pm and after finding the hotel, which has its sign obscured by a tree, we couldn’t get in as the main gate was closed, had a intercom on the gate, only to hear a recording in French. There is a restaurant next to the hotel which we went to ask, but then noticed a side gate to the hotel, went in and managed to find someone, who opened the gate to let us drive in, checked in and the person on the desk tried to get us to pay the local tax, which we had already paid when we booked. It was late and we have had a long drive from the south of France, so just stayed, didn’t bother with breakfast as just wanted to leave. My advice do not stay at this hotel, and I don’t think it should be on the Expedia site. Definitely wasn’t worth the money we paid.

.Le Mr de l accueil tres bien gentil il est nouveau .Il nous à repondu à nos attentes. Il manquait la télécommande de la télé et une serviette car nous etions 3 il a l a ramené tout de suite. Je recommande a 100% .Tres bon petit dejeuner avec du choix. Les seuls bémol la chambre que l on peut pas avoir avant 17h et il manque des distributeurs de boissons fraiches . Il y a un frigo mais dans l espace d accueil qui est ouvert pendant les heures d ouverture de celle çi donc si on a envie de se desalterer au soir tard c'est impossible. On y retournera.
