“Nearly good”

We stayed here as a stopover on the way back from the Alps as we wanted a base to explore part of the Champagne region by bicycle which we hadn't been to before. We were also interested in the historic connections to Charles de Gaulle (the memorial is worth a visit). Initial findings of the hotel were excellent: beautifully presented (if a few too many nicknacks in the main dining area) and the rooms appeared to be beautifully converted from old stable buildings into light, airy and luxurious rooms. There was also a swimming pool (which we didn't use). However, we did hit some problems: although the initial experience with staff was great, when the wifi didn't function (and it was the fault of the hotel as none of our devices worked) they claimed not to be able to fix it or offer a solution. One of the reasons I'd booked the hotel was for the wifi. There were also a few problems in the room - no shower curtain, a jammed plughole and taps which had been plumbed back to front (hot was cold and cold was hot). Also found staff a bit standoffish and unwelcoming as the stay went on. This was a good hotel, but I don't think I'd stay there again as it didn't meet our personal requirements. However, if you want a peaceful break (with no wifi!!) in value for money luxury, then do consider it.
