"Bon séjour, avec un bon rapport qualité/prix. L'eau potable est comprise dans les services, ainsi que les serviettes. Cuisine fonctionnelle et lit confortable. Le parking à disposition est sécurisé et collé à l'hôtel, bien qu'il faille demander à l'avance pour entrer et sortir la voiture entre 20h et 8h du matin (9h le dimanche, ce que nous ne savions pas). Le responsable nous a fourni un accueil chaleureux et a toujours été disponible en cas de question. Il y a eu un souci avec la réservation...
