excellent experience

comfortable bed blackout curtains warm soak

I found my stay to be pleasant. The double bed was very comfortable. Blackout curtains also ensured a good night's rest. The bathtub with a shower was perfect for a warm soak after a long day of travel.

I sent out clothing for laundry service, and all items were damaged in some way. Some shirts shrank. Another shirt ended up with a large yellow stain. I am disappointed by the lack of follow-through.

The staff were professional and friendly. They provided helpful recommendations for bouchons and Lyonnaise dishes. The omelette prepared was perfect, showcasing attentiveness to guest preferences and culinary skill.

mixed feelings on this stay

limescale shower head limited minibar

I was a little disappointed with the bathroom. there was no hand soap provided at the sink, only shower gel. i also noticed the shower head had some limescale build-up. It needs attention. the minibar prices were also quite high and they lacked a comprehensive variety of choices.

comfortable bed excellent location helpful staff

I stayed in a classic double room city view. the complimentary water bottles were a nice touch, replenished each evening. the breakfast buffet featured freshly cooked eggs and a wide selection of items. the location was ideal. It was near the city center and close to the metro.

i found the ac wasn't working efficiently.
