C'est un bel hôtel, bien situé, piscine, restaurant et spa et le personnel est gentil. Mais malheureusement j'ai eu une chambre au RC à côté des ascenseurs, machine à glace, salle de réunion donc très bruyant et j'ai eu de la difficulté à dormir mais l'hôtel était plein. J'hésiterais juste à cause de ça.
