Leider hat sich die Qualität verschlechtert.

Toilette abgebrochen, im Ersatzzimmer roch das Badezimmer nach Frittierfett (?)... Beim Frühstück konnten wir selbst miterleben, daß ein Gast angeschnauzt wurde, weil er darum gebeten hatte, de Frühstückstisch abzuputzen (?).

Hôtel bien placé puisqu'en centre mais tres bruyant. La chambre était tres exiguë. Beaucoup de bruit à l'intérieur comme à l'extérieur.
