Parfait !
L'ensemble du personnel est très agréable. On se sent comme à la maison, ce qui est très agréable quand on voyage seule pour le travail. L'hôtel est très bien tenu, propre et calme. Il est facile à trouver et il y a de nombreuses places de stationnement gratuites. Enfin, on y dine très bien. Bref, si mes obligations professionnelles m'amènent à nouveau dans le coin, c'est dans cet hôtel que je descendrais.

Très pratique pour une étape avant Lyon
Hôtel facile d'accès, avec des explications claires même en arrivée tardive. Un personnel très accueillant et serviable. Une chambre simple, un peu vieillotte sur la salle de bain, mais très fonctionnelle, et surtout, avec une bonne literie. Le petit dejeuner est varié pour le prix, ce qui est appréciable aussi.
