Overall 4.5 star. Bring your pillows they are not that comfy and the beds you can feel the spring's. I also found some hair in the shower on the first night.
Great staff very helpful and good customer service.
Wonderful location.

Nice looking hotel but that pretty much it. Nothing is included no breakfast or even the parking. You need to pay extras. Also if you’re in a higher floor room you need to wait 15-20 minutes with the shower running to get water.. it’s super wasteful. I just don’t think it’s worth the price at all. I can’t justify it in any way.

Give it a try....

C'est pas une chambre, c'est un appartement avec son salon, son coin repas, sa cuisine et naturellement sa grande chambre et sa litterie de qualité.
Dommage que les concepteurs aient commis plusieurs erreurs: - - faire passer la gaine technique avec le groupe climatiseur dans la chambre qui du coût est bruyante . ==> obligation de couper la climatisation.
- détecteur de fumée également la chambre avec sa Led qui clignote toutes les 30 secondes!
- et pour finir la veilleuse à côté de l'évier qui éclaire comme si on avait oublié d'éteindre une lumière! Naturellement pas de porte!
Pourquoi ne pas avoir mis tout cela dans le coin repas ou la cuisine? ==> dommage cela nuit à la qualité du sommeil!
Mieux dormi dans des chambres plus "standards".

J’ai trouvé ma chambre vieillotte en comparaison des autres hiltons que j’ai pu faire, mais les équipements étaient bien là et fonctionnels. Et alors l’insonorisation est clairement à revoir. J’ai testé la salle de sport. Certaines machines ne sont pas bien entretenues notamment les tapis de courses qui tanguent.
Je trouve que cela ne justifie pas le prix.
Le personnel est très sympathiques mais pas possible de se faire servir en français.
Le plus c’est clairement la proximité des attractions touristiques.
