Room was good, staff were very helpful, pool was good too

Nice hotel, room clean. The actual town itself is rundown and doesn’t offer much facilities. The restaurant was nice but doesn’t cater much for non meat eaters. We had a dog with us and were given a disabled room with its own door to the car park. The dog was also allowed to come with us to the restaurant.

Tout a été parfait. À l’exception d’une erreur sur la facturation : on a facturé un petit déjeuner qui n’a pas été pris; une erreur habituelle oû l’on facture systématiquement le petit déjeuner qu’il soit pris ou non !
