great location delicious breakfast tastefully furnished challenging stairs reluctant help extra charge

the location was amazing! i was just a short walk from the chateau and lovely restaurants. breakfast was delicious with quality products in a lovely and well-decorated room. i really loved how clean and tastefully furnished everything was.

i found the stairs a bit challenging. i had a small bag and the staff reluctantly helped me to the third floor. also, i think tea in the morning should be included instead of charged extra.

The staff seemed uninterested and unhelpful. i asked for an extra towel, but it never arrived. also, the wi-fi was spotty in my room. I could barely load websites. the tv remote also didn't work properly. That was frustrating too.

charming stay near the chateau

secured parking quick assistance spacious lobby

the front desk provided quick assistance for parking in the hotel's secure area. they alerted me to forgotten items after my departure (very kind of them!). the lobby provided enough space for small meetings.

The temperature control seemed centrally managed. The radiator remained only slightly warm even when i hoped for it to be warmer.

the room included air conditioning, a welcome convenience. beds were comfortable. the bathroom facilities were well-kept and clean (which i always appreciate).

Service

the staff demonstrated helpfulness by providing restaurant recommendations. storing my cycles in a locked garage across the road provided peace of mind.
