Adventure Sport in Essonne, France

Hotel seemed mainly directed at conference/function market and was lightly staffed for our visit. Very pleasant part of town.

This was a fantastic hotel. Price was great (we got a discount for booking ahead of time via Expedia). The hotel itself and the rooms were lovely. Secure parking. Friendly staff. Lots of things for the kids to do (swimming pool, mini golf, table tennis, games console etc.) and all for free. The food was delicious, especially the breakfast, and the overall ambiance was relaxed and friendly. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

The hotel was well situated. We were warmly welcomed and the room was comfortbale and we enjoyed a peaceful night's sleep. Breakfast was very good. Unfortunately we had only arrived about 8pm and as the restaurant was closed on a Sunday evening we went in search of a restaurant nearby. On our return we discovered on first use that the sink in the bathroom was blocked and as reception was closed were left wth the blocked sink till the following morning. It was unusable. Reported it the following morning on checkout. Whilst that was noted, I was disappointed that the receptionist did not apologise for the inconvenience it caused us.

We like hotel chains for transit because they are usually modern, well-maintained, and clean. Sadly this hotel is long overdue for a refurbishment. Although the reception and breakfast area has been refreshed relatively recently, the rest of the hotel is not very pleasant - some repairs to the bathroom were messy, the paint is generally yellowed and chipped, the lift was out-of-order when we checked out, carpets and ceilings in the corridors stained and slightly smelly. Although all the rooms are supposed to be non-smoking, confirmed with a sign on the door, there was cigarette smoke in the air, perhaps through the ventilation. The Expedia description, complete with complimentary newspaper and "signature bedding", gives a much classier impression than the reality. That said, we had booked for 2 nights, and we returned for the second night, so it wasn't the worst hotel experience we've ever had!

There is nothing spectacular about this hotel and there is no restaurant close by.
