I booked this place in a bit of a rush because we had to return from Provence early and to find a stop-over at short notice. I wish I'd researched it a bit more carefully and read some of the reviews here very critical of the service - because that was very true of our experience, too. And for me the warmth and welcome of the staff is as important as the comfort of the room (which was OK) Some of the service wasn't just mildly bad - it was startingly so. For example, the extraordinary indifference (some might say rudeness) of the guy on reception when we arrived set an unfortunate tone. And the grumpiness of the young woman who served us at dinner felt like a parody at times . She would have fitted in well at Fawlty Towers and having the menu literally plucked out of my hand would have been a comedy moment if it hadn't been so unpleasant. The young woman at breakfast was much more helpful. But the whole impression was one of a big corporate establishment which didn't take much interest in giving its clients a positive and happy experience. My professional background is in management - and quite frankly if any of my staff had behaved in these ways, their feet wouldn't have touched the ground! This calls for some radical staff training - and maybe a thought about whether staff recruitment policies are working?! Suffice it to say, when there are so many lovely hotel and Logis experiences to be had in France - we wouldn't dream of going back.

A mi-chemin sur la route de nos vacances, nous faisons régulièrement halte dans cet hôtel. Nous avons utilisé nos Smartbox à l'aller comme au retour et les chambres qui nous ont été octroyées était confortables, calmes et propres avec une clim appréciable. Mention spéciale pour l'accueil et le personnel qui est très avenant. Le parking est gratuit. Des points de restauration alentours sont possibles, l'hôtel se trouvant dans une zone commerciale. Sinon l'hôtel propose aussi des pizzas pour les petites faims. Quant au petit déjeuner, le buffet sucré salé à volonté est suffisant et varié. Bref ! rapport qualité-prix c'est un bon choix pour ce qui nous concerne. Nous renouvellerons l'opération.

A good stop over hotel, not too far from the motorway. Clean and comfortable. Coffee facilities. Shower a good size. Parking secure at night. Receptionists friendly, check in speedy. They had suggestions for a place to eat in the evening and spoke good English as well as French. Would stay here again. We booked though the originals hotel website.

We arrived at the hotel at night against 3Uhr because we spontaneously decided that we need a few hours of sleep before the journey continues. Unfortunately we received a room that was not cleaned. There were still dirty towels on the floor, waste was lie everywhere, the beds were not made and I would rather not write to the bathroom. Since at this time nobody was at the reception, we tried to call the emergency number. Unfortunately, despite several attempts, we did not reach anyone there. Since the room was so extremely dirty, we decided to sleep in the car. The reception was occupied again against 6Uhr. We explained to the lady (which was very friendly) what happened. She made another copy of my bank data and staff and pledged that the money would be returned to us. I had also contacted the hotel chain afterwards. I was promised to receive the money. Unfortunately, this has been done so far and despite multiple requests! Request has not been made. So I can now make my final review. If the reception is not occupied, you might better consider check-in there twice. The room would have been large enough and for a few hours of sleep too much. However, the price for it is simply too high. The breakfast we saw when we talked to the reception looked OK, but little choice. Parking is available, but it was very narrow, because the parking was very full. The lady at the reception was very friendly, but actually only spoke French. If you don't know French, it could be difficult to communicate.
