4/10 Fair

This is an unmanned hotel. You must use your phone with an app to get in. The rooms are small but have most of what you'll need. The automatic lights in the bathroom are Horrible!! in the middle of the night when you have to go the bathroom. UGH. Definitely close to all amenities and the castle grounds. The Left Bank was a great bar.

8/10 Very good

Je suis obligée de mettre 4* car nous sommes restés une petite heure à la porte suite à un défaut du système électronique. Cependant la dame au téléphone était très professionnelle et sympathique. La chambre et la salle de bain étaient plus que propre. La literie de très bonne qualité et l’emplacement est ideal.
