Room cleanliness and comfort were superb. There was plenty of room to work remotely as well.

The staff did not top up my milk each day, nor did they empty the bins every day, so I went without coffee on my last morning.

La dame de l'accueil est très amicale. La chambre était propre, bien équipée (frigo de bonne taille, micro-ondes, couverts et ustensiles de cuisine), le lit très confortable avec matelas chauffant pour les jours plus frais.

L'hôtel est en bord de route mais avec des bouchons j'ai passé une excellente nuit
