just for a night

We were travelling home and booked the hotel from where we had spent our holidays. We just wanted a bed for a night and a breakfast - and we got that. The staff was very nice and helpful in many perspectives but the limits of the place didn't really leave them a chance to make this a very pleasant stay. Stay there if you just need a place with nice staff beside a quick french American Steak House. Don't stay there if you want a hidden gem.

Chambre de passage sur la route

Velux qui fermait mal à l'étage. Le fait de ne pas avoir de climatisation mais je n'avais lu avant de réserver. Rideaux trop court pour couvrir toute la fenêtre et vieux. Salle de bain ok.
