Great place for a one night stopover!

Receptionist was welcoming and friendly and spoke excellent English. Good recommendations for places to eat not too far away. Ample free parking. Fairly basic hotel but very clean and quiet. Excellent for a one night stopover on a long journey.

The hojtel was closedf upon arrival. Be aware, the reception closes at 21h. No information about this is given until you pay. We booked at 22.00 h, arriving at 23.30. We had to find another hotel near by. The money was not refunded. I contacteg Hotels.com and they said that they reception assured they had left the keys in a box, but this is a lie since I booked after reception was closed

Snoring. Boring. Thin A** Towels.

The check-in was done through a 'key ATM' outside the building. The area was very weird and there were people hanging out in the parking lot. There were ZERO hotel staff anywhere in sight. We checked in through an ATM and it dispensed our key. The room was incredibly small and the towels and other items were thin and cheap. We were literally just stopping for 6-8hrs of sleep on a longer drive up to Paris...so it is what it is. But it was a sketchy hotel. We could hear the guy in the next room snoring through paper thin walls. We heard him through our headboard on the other side of the wall. My wife had to turn on a noise machine on her phone for us to fall asleep.

Très bien avec une literie incroyable. Seul bémol le petit-déjeuner est très cher, 11.90€ par petit-déjeuner et par personne. Vraiment très cher même s'il y a de tout. A savoir : ils nettoient les chambres tous les jours malgré le petit écriteau ne pas nettoyer donc je pense qu'il faut le signaler à la réception.
