Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The check-in was done through a 'key ATM' outside the building. The area was very weird and there were people hanging out in the parking lot. There were ZERO hotel staff anywhere in sight.
We checked in through an ATM and it dispensed our key. The room was incredibly small and the towels and other items were thin and cheap.
We were literally just stopping for 6-8hrs of sleep on a longer drive up to Paris...so it is what it is. But it was a sketchy hotel.
We could hear the guy in the next room snoring through paper thin walls. We heard him through our headboard on the other side of the wall. My wife had to turn on a noise machine on her phone for us to fall asleep.
Welcoming, clean, comfortable and efficiently run. First class and friendly staff. Breakfast was lovely in the current circumstances. We would certainly use it again.

One night stay Saintes
The room was not really what you should expect for the rating of the hotel. At the window area, behind curtains there were several places with mold. The lady behind the reception was very correct and friendly but she was walking on crocs… Not really representative. The wifi did not work most of the time. The beds however where small but slept surprisingly well. Everything in the room was old fashioned...
Crap pricing and service by Hotel.com. really upse
Really upset with hotel.com for inflating the price over just arriving and checking in. hotels.com inflated the price by 22% ... I thought they were supposed to use their position to reduce prices... Beware of liars and cheats
For the price, this is a perfectly acceptable hotel. No complaints from me at all. Easy to find and easy parking for the motorcycle in front of the hotel. Breakfast was good and the room was comfortable and clean, albeit a bit small. Definitely recommend this place.

Value hotel near city center. Friendly staff was helpful. Lift was so small we walked to the 3rd floor most of the time.
An comfortable overnight stop en-route from Spain to U.K. Extremely good value for money, a very friendly and helpful welcome and an excellent buffet breakfast. Dinner at the nearby Poivre Rouge was also very good.
Very adequate comfortable room; tea making facilities; Poivre Rouge grill/restaurant close by; parking; charming staff. What more do you need for an overnight stay

Good overnight stopping place
Hotel in an industrial estate but it was good value for money. Car parking on site
the hotel is very clean and tidy and are quite big spacious and airy with tea and coffee making facilities in the room. the beds are very comfortable and room was air conditioned. pets are accepted at an extra charge. it is right next to the motorway but very quiet and no road noise. the staff are very friendly and helpful. there is no restaurant or bar at this hotel you can get soft drinks at reception. you can have breakfast but no evening meal and as we stayed on a sunday this was a pain as no surrounding places where open so we had to drive about 10 mins to the town to get something to eat.
