Location is very convenient for when we visit. Staff at checkin were efficient and friendly. Overall, stay was comfortable. Some minor irritations: 1) no power to nightstand on right side of the bed; 2) bathroom sink does not always drain properly; 3) one of the two key cards issued did not work; 4) (not so minor, same problem as experienced at this Sofitel twice before) the mattress on the bed could be much more supportive.

Hotel was very nice, however the shower temperature of the water was disappointing. We had to take cool showers as the water did not get very warm. This was the only complaint.

Bonjour Pamelina, Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the cleanliness of our rooms and property and recognized the safety procedures we have in place. Thank you for letting us know about the mini-bar sensitivity in your room, we will check on a sensor as it should react only on items being removed or shifted. As for the fee for a refrigerator and a microwave, our apologies for any inconvenience it may cause, however with a significant request increase for those items we have to apply a delivery fee. Alternatively, our guests are welcome to use food and beverage options available at our bar and restaurant. We hope to welcome you back in the future!
