"The reception staff were very friendly. The pool was great although the hot tub was not very hot. The beds were comfortable in the rooms. The only thing we didn’t like was the breakfast as the hot food was not hot and the coffee machine was not working. Otherwise I would recommend this hotel."

"Super séjour. Tellement un bel endroit. Le coucher de soleil sur le fleuve était juste trop beau. J'y séjournerais a nouveau. Le restaurant était délicieux, les portions parfaites. La terrasse sublime. Seul petit bémol pour la chambre 108, réparer le rideau qui ne ferme pas serait un atout et le drain de la douche ne s'écoule pas très bien. Sinon tout était parfait 😍. Personnel souriant et accueillant. Merci pour tout."

"Hotel is beautifully situated. Great view from our room! Staff are very attentive and helpful. Restaurant à la carte meals were excellent and one evening buffet was fairly good as well. Breakfasts were great. One wish is that there would have been a 24 hour lobby coffee bar to get early morning coffee (or a machine in the room). Staff in the breakfast room were very accommodating, but only available after 8am when the restaurant opened."
