On arrival our booking couldn’t be found, there seemed to be a problem. We had to change rooms because every time the toilet flushed there was water on the floor. The carpet was wet from another time. We were put into another room without any problems. It was great to be able to have a meal at the hotel. Lovely staff especially our waitress

Very helpful staff. I would get a specific location before travelling as my taxi driver couldn’t find it. At reception they were wonderful.

We had two rooms: one was fine, the other one had a strong smell of mould -- really not nice. We asked to change room but we were told the hotel was full. The staff apologised, but it felt a gesture would have been appropriate. Empty shower gel dispenser too.Otherwise the hotel is by no means luxurious, but we kew that and that is fine.

It was an easy Hotel to reach on the way to the Alps. A good cheap stop over. Staff friendly and room small, but clean. We decided to walk into the town as we didnt want the buffet dinner. This took us about 40 minutes to walk, but was good after a day sitting in the car.

We enjoyed our stay at a convenient location, not far from the centre and river. The breakfast, buffet style was a generous continental style. The bonus was an excellent buffet style dinner (not on Sunday night). Good Asian restaurant just over the road (Sunday). The staff were all friendly, very helpful and with good English.

Overnight stop on route to skiing. Just needed comfortable room and meal at good price. This fitted the bill

We stayed overnight on route to the Alps. The motel did what it did on the tin. Room was ok. Food was buffet self service but good hot meal selection with cold options.

Very basic hotel, felt like a pod rather than a hotel room! Pre-formed, plastic bathroom/wet room. Tiny room with minimum facilities. Breakfast was stale & basic. Terrible coffee! Only stay here if you've no other option.

Easy to find straight from the autoroute junction. Nice staff on reception and very helpful for none French speaking Brit. No food on site in the evening but an outstanding Asian buffet restaurant a few hundred metres away. If you have booked to stay here dont eat before you arrive. Worth booking in even if you are heading south. Breakfast was excellent and good value. I will be back.

Ok for the price. Clean but showing it's age. Major problem too, too far out from city centre.

We stayed here for one night and it was a perfect inexpensive option on our route down to the south of France. Although the bathroom was extremely small (could barely fit in the shower) everything was clean and bed was okay.

Very nice staff, the hotel is not very new and the room was a bit smelly (but clean anyway). For 1 night and for that price it's OK.
