A fuir !
Notre chambre et le service en général n’étaient pas digne d’un 4 étoiles malgré le prix…
Check-In laborieux, nous avons du repayer une deuxième fois avant que le préposé s’aperçoive de son erreur…et nous rembourse…
Chambre horrible : une seule petite fenêtre donnant sur la centrale de ventilation très bruyante : impossible de dormir fenêtre ouverte… personnel peu impliqué…
Heureusement que nous n’avions réservé que deux nuits…
Cela restera un très mauvais souvenir…
