Hotel with nice staff

The service is great and staff very helpful and friendly. The hotel is close to highway and you can hear the traffic very early in the morning, but this is not a big issue to me. The issues i have are all about the washroom. Hot water is weak, toilet water always draining (problem with the lever ?) . . . It takes about 15 minutes walk to city center where i can find some good dining choice. In the beginning part of the walk the surrounding is unclean & got heavy traffic but it is safe even in the evening. Remark : Due to the current movement restriction after 8pm, i always finish dinner before 8 and back in hotel already.

Chaleureux et calme

Accueil chaleureux depuis le gardien jusqu'à la personne à la reception. Hôtel calme, a l'abri de l'agitation. Parfait pour laisser sa voiture. On s'y sent bien et on oublie le côté un peu vieillot des bâtiments. Les escaliers peuvent poser problème aux PMR. Problème de tarif. Chambre deluxe réservé mais chambre eco attribué. Le problème semble venir de hotel.com

The hotel was so nice with african style decoration. Food was good too. Staff are really friendly. Local area not walkable in the night, although it is close to city center. Wifi is not good in the rooms. Hotel is good for economy budget.

This was an excellent place to stay for someone wishing to experience local flavor with a reasonable price and simple, friendly comfort. Don’t freak out at the exterior appearance. Once you walk through the doors your heart smiles. Staff was great, room was clean, and hot shower was welcome.
