We booked the wrong dates and tried to change. Hotels.com staff couldn’t change the booking as no one at the hotel spoke English. We tried via email and never got a response, so asked our French Airbnb hosts to call, hotel refused to do anything over the phone and said they would reply to our email. Never heard from them. Terrible customer service avoid like the plague

Ns sommes en fin de journée. Personne a l accueil, ns avons du passer par le bar attenant à l'hôtel. Le Mr a l accueil très avenant, disponible. Mr m a présenté le petit déjeuner et le parking et comment accéder à la chambre. La chbre est grande. Par contre trace sale sur le couvre lit du grand lit, drap non tiré correctement ça été mis comme ça... SDB : évier sale et bouché. Ns avons eu des poils de barbe qui sont remontés. Dégoûtant.. morceau de papier toilette au sol. PetitDejeuner, mini croissant ni pain au chocolat, oeuf, jambon et yaourt,jus de fruit frais disponible, café machine bon..pour 9 euros c'est quand même cher. Hôtel vieux, salle a manger vieillotte. Parking hôtel gratuit dispo.

Chambre avec odeur de cendrier !!! Horrible mes affaires puaient le tabac , il est évident que cette chambre a héberger un fumeur sur une longue durée imprégné dans les mur , les toilettes !! Atroce vraiment. MAIS Vraiment a vomir !!!! Évidemment rien n'a été fait pour essayer d'enlever l'odeur durant cette semaine !! Je suis chef d'entreprise! Des gens squattes le hall la nuit . Dorment sur des fauteuils avec des odeurs répugnantes. Regard agressif car oui je partais à 5 heure travailler ! Et donc je les gênait... on marche sur la tête ! Vous ne pouvez pas ouvrir les fenêtres le soir car il y a constamment des odeurs de cannabis . .. Je ne sais pas ce qui se passe dans cet hôtel mais ç'est inadmissible. Je suis venu a plusieurs reprise depuis 2021 . Mais là je ne viendrai plus car ça a bien changé !! Ils ont choisis leur clientèle apparemment.... La réception vous envoies des sms avec une faute à chaque mots .. pathétique . A fuir clairement !
