DO NOT BOOK this hotel! This property management is horrible. First of all, we did not get the type of rooms we booked and paid for. The check-in experience was really bad, the manager gave us key for a wrong room. Then they scammed us for parking at “wrong” space, bullied me and my family at the middle of the night and tried to take almost 1000 euros from us. We had to involve the police to resolve the situation.

Bei der Ankuft hatten wir erst mal nach dem Concierge gesucht und niemand gefunden. Nachdem wir dann rausgefunden hatten das es keinen Gab und wir per Automat selber einchecken sollten hat es ewig gedauert. Der Automat hat manchmal nicht richtig funktioniert und bei der Ausweis-Erkennung habe ich fast 10 Minuten lang die Karte in die Kamera halten mĂŒssen bis es funktioniert hatte. Nachdem es am Automat hieß das unsere Check in Karte fertig gestellt wurde, kam aber nichts aus dem Automaten raus. Wir hatten nur eine Quittung mit einem Code bekommen. Auch beim zweiten Versuch kam keine Karte raus. Zu unserem GlĂŒck kam dann zufĂ€llig gerade ein Personal vom Hotel und erklĂ€rte uns dann dass es keine Karten mehr gĂ€be und man nur noch mit dem Code vom Beleg per Eingabe in das Zimmer an der pin FlĂ€che am Eingang rein kĂ€me. Die Zimmer sind zwar sauber, aber der Boden recht schmierig und manche Sessel weisen komische Flecken auf. Der Geruch ist ok. Das Bad recht neu. Die Bar/Lounge die beschrieben wird, ist klein, dreckig und zugemĂŒllt. Der Tisch ist frei und sauber. Aber der gesamte Raum dort riecht nach Rauch. Die Bar ist zugestellt mit privatem Zeug wie Putzmittel, Tierfutter
. Zudem viel ungewaschenes Geschirr das rum steht. Die Cafemaschine sah auch nicht gerade sauber aus. Einen CafĂ© daraus zu trinken wĂŒrde ich fĂŒr gefĂ€hrlich halten. Der Parkplatz kostet nochmal 15Franken extra. Wer eine kurze billige Unterkunft sucht und kaum Anforderungen hat ist hier richtig.

Séjour trÚs mauvais et service médiocre

J'ai passĂ© une trĂšs mauvaise nuit, la chambre n'a pas de climatisation comme c'Ă©tait indiquĂ© sur l'annonce. Quand j'ai demandĂ© Ă  la directrice, elle me dit ouvre la fenĂȘtre. Pour information l'hĂŽtel est collĂ© Ă  une route trĂšs passante et c'est donc trĂšs bruyant. Aussi, la propretĂ© de la chambre n'Ă©tait pas du tout dans les rĂšgles de l'art, plein de cheveux par terre et dans la douche. J'ai trouvĂ© des taches sur les draps du lit.

expérience affligeante et décevante

J 'ai rĂ©servĂ©, via le site Hotels.com, dans ce hĂŽtel du samedi 20 aout au lundi 22 aout une chambre pour 4 adultes. ArrivĂ©es sur place la rĂ©ceptionniste nous fait savoir que notre rĂ©servation n’était pas valable ; MalgrĂ© nos protestations et le document de rĂ©servation prĂ©cisant bien qu 'il s 'agissait d'une rĂ©servation pour 4 adultes, la personne est restĂ© ferme sur sa position, nous proposant, si on n’était pas d 'accord d' aller chercher un autre hĂŽtel! !!Cette proposition Ă©tant non envisageable, par peur de rester sans lieu d 'hĂ©bergement et sur ses vives incitations nous avons louer une 2 -Ăšme chambre. Mais, une fois le rĂšglement fait, arrivĂ©s dans nos chambres respectives; Miracle !!! La premiĂšre chambre Ă©tait un studio d 'environ 30 -35 mĂštres carrĂ©es meublĂ©e de 2 grands lits doubles + 1 cuisine + 1 salle de bain ( photo Ă  l 'appui) et la deuxiĂšme une chambre double classique. Et pour finir au lieu de 354, 02 euros (la somme donnĂ©e par le site de rĂ©servation ), nous nous retrouvons avec une facture de 450, 44 euros ( pour la premiĂšre chambre!! ) et une autre de 245 euros, pour la 2 -Ăšme!!! Nous avons trouvĂ© cette situation scandaleuse relevant de l’escroquerie et d'une attitude malhonnĂȘte l'Ă©gard du client. Nous avons Ă©tĂ© trĂšs dĂ©sagrĂ©ablement surpris et profondĂ©ment attristĂ©es de cette situation Ă  laquelle, on connaissant l’honnĂȘte la droiture et la correction des suisses, nous n’avons pas Ă©tĂ© prĂ©parĂ©s. Dommage !!!

Ich war geschĂ€ftlich unterwegs und habe dort einmal ĂŒbernachtet. Der Check-in hat trotz Reservierung ĂŒber 10 Minuten gedauert obwohl schon alles vorgĂ€ngig bezahlt wurde. Im Zimmer ist es sehr staubig und es hat zahlreiche Haare und tote MĂŒcken/Fliegen am Boden. Es wird nur um die Möbel herum gewischt, unter den StĂŒhlen und dem Bett ist es sehr staubig. Was in der Nacht abgeht hat eher mit einem Bordell zu tun als mit einem Hotel. GrundsĂ€tzlich modernes Haus an guter Lage aber unprofessionell gefĂŒhrt.

Dreckigstes Hotel indem ich je war. 190 SFR fĂŒr 1 Übernachtung in einem Familienzimmer mit 2 kleinen Kindern sind ein Witz.Die zentrale Elektroniksteuerung des Zimmers hing zur HĂ€lfte aus der Wand. Wird angeblich nĂ€chste Woche repariert, wird in einem Jahr noch genauso ausschauen. Liegt an einer viel befahrenen Strasse, die ganze Nacht sehr laut. Wird auch als Stundenhotel genutzt. Empfehlung: weitrĂ€umig umfahren und meiden.

Interesting check in

There was a lot if confusion over what we reserved. We asked for a room to accommodate 3 adults- me, my wife, and our 26 yr old daughter. The person that checked us in was obessed over our daughter being older than 12 and wanted to charge us extra, becuase their family room was for kids under 12. She was condsending, insulting, and dismisssive. We only wanted what we reserved. The guys that worked there were super helpful and professional. Also, we did not see on hotels.com that we had to pay an additional $15 for parking.
