Cet hôtel devait avoir une bonne réputation il y a 10 ans ! Il vieillit mal et à besoin d’une cure de rajeunissement.... toutefois il n’est pas cher...

Bon accueil, chambre agréable. Hôtel un peu excentré mais environnement relativement calme. Petit-déjeuner correct mais un peu décevant pour un 4 étoiles.
