10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was conveniently located to downtown shopping and dining, easy walk from the train station. The staff was incredibly welcoming, kept our luggage while we toured the area before check-in, and served a nice breakfast. Our room was at the top of the hotel, very nice size, perfectly equipped, and comfortable bed. It had a great view of the chateau! Highly recommend!
Francis, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely

The hotel is lovely and the staff superb! It is eclectically decorated - tres Francais! Breakfast was wonderful as well - fresh and delivered to our room by request every day. My only critique is that the front room on the first floor facing the street can get noisy. So either close your window or ask for a garden room.
Joyce, 3-night trip

The room had ticks and spiders and manager said the Americans brought it, rude disgusting people

Lovely property with beautiful room. Staff was warm and attentive to our questions and requests . Only complaint would be the room was very warm and we had to open the windows because the AC was off for the season.

Personnel accueillant mais chambre décevante, en fond de cour, carrelages de la salle de bains peu propres au sol, traces de moisissures sur les joints de la douche et plinthes cassées par endroits. Insuffisant pour un 4 étoiles..

This hotel was beautiful! Eclectic and beautifully decorated, with a comforable bed and amazing shower in our room. We loved the breakfast buffet and wonderfully kind staff. Walkable to everything in town, but far enough out to be quiet. Would definitely stay here again!

8/10 Very good

Dommage qu’il n’était pas précisé sur le site que le spa était fermé. Du coup, ça fait cher la nuit. J’avais choisi cet hôtel parmi tant d’autres pour le spa. Sinon, très bel hôtel, le matelas et les oreillers étaient d’un confort parfait, nous avons dormi comme sur un nuage.
