L’employé a su s’occuper de la situation rapidement (télévision qui ne fonctionnait pas bien, bain,…): il n’a pas hésité à nous offrir une autre chambre. Très gentil et apprécié!

C'était un brau moment de familiale. Le service était super. La seul lacune était la "propreté" des lieux qui laissait a désiré
The hallway smelt like vomit. The room was gross. There was makeup smudged on the wall. The renovations done were very poor quality. The room was very large and the staff were friendly. The only positive. The pool area looked cool but we did not get to use it. The website said breakfast included and it was not.

I like this location for its location near the university but it’s very average and there was a major police operation while I was there that resulted in several arrests.
Room temperature was either very hot or very cold . They did not change the room and they said it is the same in all rooms .
The water of the pool was not clear and the second day of our stay , they closed it for few hours.
But the staff were nice and understanding.
The question is for the hotel owner to make a better situation for the people who pay for their rooms and they expect good facilities.
I would stay here again. The room was clean and the spa/ pool area was exceptional. Only reason I didn't give five stars was because of the terrible smells in the hallway.
