The hotel was conveniently located to downtown shopping and dining, easy walk from the train station. The staff was incredibly welcoming, kept our luggage while we toured the area before check-in, and served a nice breakfast. Our room was at the top of the hotel, very nice size, perfectly equipped, and comfortable bed. It had a great view of the chateau! Highly recommend!

Lovely

The hotel is lovely and the staff superb! It is eclectically decorated - tres Francais! Breakfast was wonderful as well - fresh and delivered to our room by request every day. My only critique is that the front room on the first floor facing the street can get noisy. So either close your window or ask for a garden room.

Dommage qu’il n’était pas prĂ©cisĂ© sur le site que le spa Ă©tait fermĂ©. Du coup, ça fait cher la nuit. J’avais choisi cet hĂŽtel parmi tant d’autres pour le spa. Sinon, trĂšs bel hĂŽtel, le matelas et les oreillers Ă©taient d’un confort parfait, nous avons dormi comme sur un nuage.
