Clean, newly renovated, and affordable

We’ve got the room for four as it was a family trip. Actually there are 2 rooms. Excellent beds, newly renovated and updated unit. The bathroom is tiny but it does the job. We were very pleased with the condition. Looks better in the inside than outside. Definitely recommend if you are not bothered by the proximity to the highway.

Good hotel but not too quiet

Very good, comfortable and clean hotel but walls are a little thin. Traffic and noise noise from guest rooms make getting a good nights sleep not easy. But for a sound sleeper it should be fine.

Très agréable séjour.

La personne de l’accueil, avenante, d’une très grande gentillesse. La chambre était propre, bien chauffée. La literie, très agréable. Hotel bien situé, avec de quoi se restaurer, faire des courses, cinéma, dans un petit périmètre. Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés.

Déçu

Mauvaise isolation au niveau de la porte qui est voilée, laissant passer le jour et l'air. Le manque d'éclairage. Le toilette trop pres d'un côté du mur et de l'autre du lavabo. Espace exigu entre le mur et le lit.
