My stay at the hotel was a mix of ups and downs. The room, despite its odd smell of cigarette smoke and random items, was surprisingly spacious, almost like a suite, which was a plus. However, the cleanliness could have been better. The service, characterized by the wonderful French hospitality and gastronomy, was top-notch; the staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, truly making me feel like a valued guest. The location, although a bit removed from the main attractions, was quiet and peaceful, perfect for relaxation. As for the dining experience, the array of European-style breakfast items and French espresso was a delightful touch, even though the variety could have been improved. Overall, the facilities met my expectations with a few notable highlights and some room for enhancement.
