Dans l'ensemble moyen mais ...

Un séjour très moyen. Une Vmc défectueuse, une condensation très importante, un matelas trop ferme ainsi que les oreillers. L'accueil cependant était chaleureux. Un litige sur la facture finale pour un café sois disant non-paye. Heureusement que le séjour n'a duré qu'un weekend. Les petits chats devant l'hôtel ont rattrapé le coup
