French adventure, great area restaurant
Call ahead about parking. Only small cars can park near hotel. Feels impossible to get your car between the walls of driveway but you can. Work was in progress on outside of hotel. No problem. Very old but surface remodel. Quite a travel adventure. Excellent restaurant in area. L’annexe

The staff were polite and very helpful. The room was clean but the elevator was scary - rickety, wobbly and some very strange noises. The drain in the shower had a dodgey odour. The heating worked well and it’s a safe place to stay.
