Hotel with nice staff

The service is great and staff very helpful and friendly. The hotel is close to highway and you can hear the traffic very early in the morning, but this is not a big issue to me. The issues i have are all about the washroom. Hot water is weak, toilet water always draining (problem with the lever ?) . . . It takes about 15 minutes walk to city center where i can find some good dining choice. In the beginning part of the walk the surrounding is unclean & got heavy traffic but it is safe even in the evening. Remark : Due to the current movement restriction after 8pm, i always finish dinner before 8 and back in hotel already.

Chaleureux et calme

Accueil chaleureux depuis le gardien jusqu'à la personne à la reception. Hôtel calme, a l'abri de l'agitation. Parfait pour laisser sa voiture. On s'y sent bien et on oublie le côté un peu vieillot des bâtiments. Les escaliers peuvent poser problème aux PMR. Problème de tarif. Chambre deluxe réservé mais chambre eco attribué. Le problème semble venir de hotel.com

The staff was great. However the price they charge is not worth it’s quality. There were remotes for a TV and a fan and there were neither. It’s in sort of a noisy location. It “ok” for a night if you’re looking for something a little cheaper but I wouldn’t stay there again for that same price.

Helt ok boende för någon natt

Överlag helt ok boende, bra service och trevlig personal. Minus för att vi bokat dubbelrum o vi fick rum med enkelsäng. Sängkläder, myggnät, dusch, toalett var trasiga och i dåligt skick. Men vi är nöjda för en natt vi sov där innan vi drog vidare på andra äventyr.

WiFi decent, hot water hard to control (boiling or cold). No money exchange at hotel. The taxi drivers at the hotel are more expensive than outside. Difficult entry unless you are willing to walk from the round about. Staff is friendly and helpful. Room is dated but comfortable.
