"Les photos sur Expedia ne représentent pas la chambre que nous avons eue. Notre chambre n’était pas rénovée, la salle de bain était vieillissante et le lit très mou. L’hôtel est bien situé, mais les photos devraient mieux refléter la réalité des chambres offertes."
"Property was clean and had everything we needed except air conditioning, but they did provide a fan which helped a bit. The bathroom was a good size, there was also a coffee machine and fridge along with plenty of space in the room."
"Pros-Great breakfast and dinner. Cheese fondue was the best we’ve had.
.Location in old town. Saturday fresh market.
Cons-Old hotel. No elevators. Lots of stairs. It was more like a hostel. No A/C on hot days but they did provide a fan. Too far to walk from strain station on cobblestone streets. Can be a challenging hotel for seniors with luggage."
