Good staff. Terrible hotel. Problem in every room.

Room heaters very weak, almost zero. I have very good tolerance with cold, but when it's -3°C outside and the heaters almost don't work, no matter what, you'll at least hope there's hot water in the night? But no! Even hot water is not available at night, it seems to be only in the mornings. I was shivering and freezing and slept with loads of layers after hours of trying to fall asleep in the cold. Barely got in 4 hours of sleep, then went for breakfast (I had already paid for it). Half the fruits were stale, the eggs boiler was connected but even after trying 2 times of 10 min and with assistance of the staff, the eggs never boiled. I just left the hotel without proper breakfast as I did not want to be late for my business meetings, deciding I'll never ever return to this establishment again. The staff was professional, but the hotel needs serious maintenance and 24 hours assistance as bare minimum. Please avoid

Bon équipement dans la chambre avec bouteille d'eau et plateau thé café. restaurant la porte à côté de l'accueil (La Boucherie), petit bémol sur chambre côté autoroute où on entend la circulation malgré le double vitrage dans la journée, moins le soir avec le volet fermé et la circulation moindre.

chambre 102 à fuir

l'accueil a été parfait, mais je crois qu'il serait bon que les directeurs d'établissement prennent le temps de dormir dans les chambres qu'ils proposent à leurs clients. entre le radiateur à 30cm de la tête de lit, et surtout le bruit continu de fluide dans le mur (radiateur arrêté il s'entend); j'ai eu le sentiment de dormir à coté d'un robinet qui coule en permanence, donc déçu que cette chambre ne soit pas à la hauteur

Bien sauf le bruit

Tout a fait correct en prestation mais les chambres d'un côté donnent sur l'autoroute et le bruit passe bien a travers le double vitrage qui ne semble plus etre de grande qualité. On arrive a dormir, rassurez-vous mais il faut s'accomoder de ce bruit de fond. Perso, cela a été et je ne suis pas sensible au bruit.
