  : The room was clean. Parking was easy and secure. Location was good. Easy to find.
  : I don't want to be too harsh, because I assumed this hotel was a typical old French 'Centre Ville' establishment and not what it turned out to be which was essentially a rather tacky, impersonal place, making our stay extremely disappointing. The room was a garden room and certainly this was true, but it was not as expected-very new, cheap build, tacky, in a line of cheap attached bungalows on the other side of the road from the main hotel building. Plug sockets didn't work, plumbing cheap, cramped. The advertised 'swimming pool' was tiny and above ground-not much bigger than a hot tub. However, it was the dinner that we had that was really disgraceful. The quality of food was very poor, the actual meal was the sort of standard that I never expected from anywhere in France-a slab of overcooked beef, foul sauce quarter a carrot and one leaf of parsley and for my wife, a slab of pork, sauce and nothing else. The service from the female waiter was also disgraceful and I'm not surprised that 2 couples left the restaurant without ordering, while we there. There was never anyone on reception and we the guests, felt that we were an annoyance for the staff. All in all, a very disappointing experience-more 'premier inn' than '3 star French Hotel'. I cannot recommend it.
