Apart'Hotel Sainte-Marthe

Apart'Hotel Sainte-Marthe

8/10 Good
"It's fine and functional, and quite close to the city. You get a lot of space for your money. Had we been staying longer, we would have found the kitchen and sitting area useful, but really we just slept there. The only criticism is that the air conditioning was very ineffective. It did work, but even with the controller set to 19°, it put out a dribble of slightly cold air. Meh but ok."
