"Fabulous location and just next door was a wonderful restaurant, le Francois, but they were so under-staffed, the waiters literally ran through the restaurant to serve the people on the little deck in front of it and sitting out under the lights in the center of a square.
The parking garage was tiny and intense. We felt certain that we must have gone into the wrong one. It was like someone's personal basement. We were deliberating on what to do and the nice young man at the front desk saw us and showed us where to park.
It was a little disconcerting for him to tell us that he goes off duty at 7, so we needed to remember the code to get back in, but it worked.
Our room was completely pink - walls and doors.
Our room was over the next door restaurant so we heard kitchen noise, but it wasn't bad. There was no A/C and the day had gotten a little warm, so we wanted to suck in as much cool air as we could before we closed the window."
"Would NOT rec - hidden charges; aggression from host; uncomfortable
We’re guests at a wedding nearby. We didn’t enjoy our stay and even left early.
Nice room, but after a price dispute on day 2, our rooms weren’t cleaned at all & towels/mats/bins weren’t changed for 4d, when we had to check out early due to poor treatment.
Breakfast was €13pp everyday - well priced for a good breakfast, but we were given bread, butter & jam.
Day 1 asked for the A/C to be turned on, we were told Alex would turn it on. We asked multiple times after that, sharing that 1 of us had a condition which made excess heat unbearable, still no A/C. We asked again & were told Alex had the remote, when we asked her, she said she had lost the remote.
As we went to settle the bill, we were asked to pay significantly more than advertised on hotels.com. When we explained the miscommunication, along with price breakdowns online, there was a huge argument between the hosts. Alex was aggressive, stormed off. Thinking we didn’t understand French was attempting to blame us, as if we wanted to cheat them. Chris was reasonable & helped to solve.
Next day, we had to leave the wedding early as we were accused of ext damage we didn’t cause, proven by a lack of tyre tracks & a lack of proximity to the area of damage, again by Alex.
Chris seemed lovely, but we decided to leave 2 days early & stay elsewhere before we flew home. Maybe Alex didn’t like us, but as 2 women we want to feel safe & we didn’t feel safe."
"Receptionist was very nice and helpful. Facilities were as advertised. Also, they were very kind to hold a large amount of our luggage for 6 hours after checkout to accommodate our travel plans. "
"Very good breakfast. Very clean place appears to have been refurbished, rooms basic but colour scheme and type of finish on room walls leaves a lot to be desired
Staff extremely helpful."
