The Western Hotel

The Western Hotel

8/10 Good
"L'hotel est beau et propre, les chambres sont spacieuses et propre. L'ambiance est super interessante et le personnel etait gentil. Le seul bemol, la plomberie est probablement vieille, l'eau n'a pas toujours une temperature stable et elle est bruyante. Dans l'ensemble, une très belle experience."
