Téléviseur ridiculement petit, une seul prise de courant, dans la chambre.Une baignoire, pour douche, en vis a vis d'une fenetre sans vitres opaques. Cheveux apparents dans le trop plein de bagnoire, toilette tres mal adapté dans la salle de bain. Petit déjeuné vaut le prix. Climatisation brutante mais fonctionne.

Déçu

Un hôtel qui ferme la réception a 21h00. Peut-être convenant pour voyageurs en famille, mais pas pour ce en voyage d'affaires. Arrivé a 21h45, je rencontrais les portes fermés et du dormir dans la voiture.
