I appreciated the upgraded room at checking to get a room closer to elevator because of disability, but I have found trash that wasn’t picked up in the bathroom. There was also a little smell in the room, most likely coming from the old building the hotel is located in.
Good staff, but the beds were terrible. The sofa bed in particuliar. We had to change room because one of the bed were brocken. But the quality was bad and very inconfortable. The other bed was ok, but you had to be carefull when you sat on it: you may fall because the bed was not equilibrated

Decent hotel but the design and fittings are tired and needs updating.
The property was well positioned with regard to the city, the station and access to the airport. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful. The room was pleasant, clean and comfortable as well as being well serviced. The property was handy to a range of dining alternatives as well as a laundrette.
The only thing i didnt like was i dint have heating in my room. And other thing when i book nobody told me like i need to pay extra tax of the city, is no a lot but you should tell.
The common areas are nice and the employees friendly, but the Clasique and Superior rooms needed an urgent refresh 20 years ago.
I simply cannot understand how this place is alowed to keep 4 stars... With the exception of the executive room, the rest are extremely dated and the bathroom condition and age was simply unacceoptable. The 1st room we got had oil on the carpet (sofa bed, we assumed) and the staff moved us to another one wich was "ok" but still way below the expectations. The staff confimed that all the non-executive rooms were the same.
Regarding the room, the bed was confortable and clean. TV was very small, minibar didnt work and the rest of the room (particularly the carpet) felt very old and not properly mantained or cleaned. The room smelled old.
The bathroom was clearly the worst. Absurdly dated (probably 50+ years) not well maintained and the cherry on top: the bath had a shower curtain instead of a screen.
There is basically no load/unload area, as there were cars parked there. The closest car park is relatively modern and convenient but didnt have security and in general didnt feel safe at least on a weeked day.
We stayed one night and cancelled the rest. We did not enjoy our stay nor did we use any additional services. We basicaly stayed 9 hours between checkin and out.
I would not recommend unless staying on a executive room (that is basically a standard 4* hotel room) and will absolutely not stay again.
La chambre était bruyante la ventilation fait du bruit impossible de la couper dans la chambre. De même, une certaine odeur qui se dégageais des toilettes.

Proche gare mais 10’ à pied tout de même. Un peu vétuste côté salles de bains
Parkplatz ist ein echtes Problem. Wenn man ins Hotel mit viel Gepäck kommt ist das auch ein Problem. Nur Stufen und Kopfsteinpflaster. Vor dem Hotel parken ist auch auf eigenes Risko wie ich informiert worden bin.
Das Hotel ist schon über die besten Tage hinaus. Wenn man zu einer Konferenz neben an muss, ist es sehr angenehm einfch.
Pas d'information préalable sur le parking alors que demande faites par mail : information possibilité réduction 20% non transmise.
Ne vaut pas un 4 étoiles : renseignements en amont insuffisant sur le parking, accès compliqué de la salle de formation, salle bains, petit déjeuner très moyens (même pas de beurre sans sel, vaisselle peu pratique, choix confiture, service à revoir)
