Moyen, mais sympa

L'hôtel est un peu fatigué et mériterait une cure de jouvence et de retrouver le restaurant qui faisant sa réputation. Par contre si le matériel est discutable, le personnel est très pro et fait tout son possible pour satisfaire ses clients. Bravo et merci à eux tous (hôtel comme restaurant Bistro).

Excellent séjour dans cet hôtel ou nous avons été accueilli par une personne charmante et attentionnée. La chambre était spacieuse, propre et semble avoir été refaite récemment. Malheureusement le restaurant était fermé. Dommage cela sera pour la prochaine fois.
