Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, right next to the chateau, which was a real plus. The service was generally friendly and accommodating, although there was one staff member who seemed a bit off. The rooms, while comfortable with functioning air conditioning, had some wear and tear. Dining was quite pricey for what was offered, and I expected a bit more from the breakfast. Overall, it has great potential but needs some improvements in certain areas.
