Une odeur désagréable flottait dans la chambre à notre arrivée. Elle a persisté durant de séjour. Les tapis sont tachés. Les bouteilles distributrices de savons et shampooing étaient vides. Un seul rouleau de papiers hygiénique entamé dans la salle de bain sans remplacement après le service de chambre nous avons dû le demander. Le service de navette n’est pas gratuit contrairement à l’information donnée. Nous avons demandé pour des suggestions resto à proximités et l’endroit suggéré par le service de conciergerie etait plutôt très ordinaire.
