Deux séjours de qqes jours en 10 jours. Les chambres sont spacieuses mais le bruit malgré les portes-fenêtres fermées est invivable et nous avons acheté des boules quies pour pouvoir dormir. Pas de pression de l'eau dans les douches et parfois de vilaines odeurs... pour le reste le personnel est très sympa mais peu mieux faire comme établissement mais cela reste acceptable rapport qualité prix.

The main problem was that the doors to the deck did not sufficiently restrict the very loud street noise below. You could hear auto and motorcycle traffic all night long.
