When I booked this hotel, I admit I was influenced by the reputation of the chain, and thought that entrusting five of my nights to a brand I had already satisfactorily tried in the past would spare me a bad experience. Was I wrong. First, the hotel is located a step away from the motorway. If you're not stone deaf, don't bother having dinner or breakfast on the patio and don't try to sleep with the window open. Second, the hotel is... well, well past its heyday. The furniture is damaged, the bathroom shower actually is a cramped bathtub, the carpet floors emit a stench that even thorough airing of the room cannot dispel. Upon coming back each night after a day's work, It was difficult to feel welcome. The only plus (but this is very personal) was the mattress, which was firm enough for my weight... after I removed the topper. Last (and not least), the hotel's restaurant is "mediocre at best" (see my so-titled review), and I can tell from first-hand experience as I had three wretched dinners there. Bottom line, it was a bad move, and very, very bad value for money. Thankfully, I was only here for business and this will probably not occur again any time soon. But should that be the case, I will carefully avoid this place.
