"Super séjour. Tellement un bel endroit. Le coucher de soleil sur le fleuve était juste trop beau. J'y séjournerais a nouveau. Le restaurant était délicieux, les portions parfaites. La terrasse sublime. Seul petit bémol pour la chambre 108, réparer le rideau qui ne ferme pas serait un atout et le drain de la douche ne s'écoule pas très bien. Sinon tout était parfait 😍. Personnel souriant et accueillant. Merci pour tout."
