Good staff. Terrible hotel. Problem in every room.

Room heaters very weak, almost zero. I have very good tolerance with cold, but when it's -3°C outside and the heaters almost don't work, no matter what, you'll at least hope there's hot water in the night? But no! Even hot water is not available at night, it seems to be only in the mornings. I was shivering and freezing and slept with loads of layers after hours of trying to fall asleep in the cold. Barely got in 4 hours of sleep, then went for breakfast (I had already paid for it). Half the fruits were stale, the eggs boiler was connected but even after trying 2 times of 10 min and with assistance of the staff, the eggs never boiled. I just left the hotel without proper breakfast as I did not want to be late for my business meetings, deciding I'll never ever return to this establishment again. The staff was professional, but the hotel needs serious maintenance and 24 hours assistance as bare minimum. Please avoid

Le personnel reste correct. Mais le reste est catastrophique. Je ne fais jamais mis d’avis nĂ©gatif mais lĂ  je le fait pour les personnes qui pense que ce lieu est un hĂŽtel. Rien n’est isolĂ© un bruit Ă©pouvantable, tout rĂ©sonne dans le couloir et l’accueil jusque dans votre chambre. J’ai louĂ© 2 nuit . Le 1 et jour j’ai laissĂ© ma tasse de cafĂ© que j’avais utilisĂ© sur le petit bureau. Le soir en rentrant le lit Ă©tait fait mais la tasse toujours sale . Une serviette pour 2 jours . J’ai dĂ» acheter un gel douche au lieu d’avoir ces pseudo Ă©chantillon gel douche pour me laver.
Ménage qui laisse à désirer
Moquette plus que vieille et abßmé
Pas de rideau fins. Si je voulais de la lumiÚre sans la chambre je devais tirer ce rideau épais et  me retrouver face au parking sans rideau fin avec vu complÚte sur la chambre
Des échantillons de savon petit format pour se laver pour 2 jours .
