Campanile Lyon Centre - Gare Part Dieu
1- votre enquête est en anglais, ce qui est discriminant pour un établissement basé en France 2- le petit déjeuner : des oeufs brouillés qui n ont pas du tout le goût d oeuf...étrange recette ... ; la salade de fruits insipide, gorgée d'eau. N en proposez pas !
