"Bien trop cher pour la prestation"

1.0

Rien! Prix exorbitant pour une situation près du lac, mais sans la cue qui va avec. Trop loin de centre ville pour ne pas avoir à prendre la voiture à chaque déplacement.

Les lieux sont miteux, défraîchis et sales. Nous avons eu le malheur de déplacer les lits pour les coller entre eux : des années de poussières sur la moquette!!

"I wouldn’t recommend."

2.0

Nothing

It’s tired, close to derelict. Needing love and money poured back into it. Pineapple yellow main wall. Shabby furniture. Bed was ok. Kitchenette lacking necessities, shower had 2 used soap bars in it from prior customers.
