Our overnight stay was delightful. Room was modern and clean. Restaurant was superb. Highly recommend a dinner there. Staff was super friendly and efficient. Shoutout to Margaux in the dining room-a wonderful young woman, and also to the staff who checked us out who went out of their way to correct a billing error as we were about to drive away to the Lyon airport. Thanks!

Séjour

Une nuit dans le cadre d'une halte sur notre trajet. L'établissement est tres beau. Les chambres sont cependant petites, l'isolation sonore est catastrophique que ce soit de l'extérieur (côté route, fenetre en simple vitrage...) également côté couloir. L'acceuil est agréable, le personnel est serviable. Le petit déjeuner est quant à lui très minime pour le prix de 15€, passez votre chemin et privilégiez la boulangerie du coin.

Bel hotel et beau restaurant

Hotel très confortable. Accueil sympathique et efficace. Décoration intérieure moderne, mais soignée. Les chambres sont grandes et confortables. Il manque juste la possibilité de se faire un petit café en journée (pas de machine dans la chambre). Le lit est très grand et confortable. Le restaurant est très bon : repas Bistronomique à un tarif très correct.

The staff are welcoming and attentive, I attempted to speak French and when in difficulty found English understood by several staff members. The food & drink quality cannot be faulted, the room and communal areas very clean, WiFi works well :)) On the downside, the bath has a tap with shower attachment but no shower curtain, water inevitably splashes into the bathroom and makes the floor slippy. There was a problem with the bill, additional alcoholic drinks we had not consumed, check your bill carefully. Overall a good experience, the location is perfect for us for a stopover near the autoroute de Soleil.

Bof

L'hôtel est bien dans son ensemble mais j'ai été très déçus par la qualité de la chambre et de la literie. Pour plus de 100 euros la nuit on peut s'attendre a un peu plus de confort, bouilloire, café, thé, grande tv,... mais rien de tout ça.
