The shared kitchen was very well equipped. The room was comfortable and practical. The only observation is that the room we had (room 1) due to its location adjacent to the front door and common room, was very noisy. Our sleep was disrupted every time other patrons entered or left.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had room one and the noise levels were just awful, the room shook as people entered and excited the property. People using the living space were really disrespectful about noise even after being asked twice to keep it down at 7am they were letting kids run around screaming and there was no soundproofing at all. The hotel hot tub wasn’t warm so we were unable to use it.

Bonjour, malheureusement, cet hebergement est situé dans un milieu résidentiel et n'offre pas de service. Il n'y a pas de personnel pour nous accueillir. Par contre, la chambre était correcte. L'isolation est inexistante. Je ne pense pas y retourner; l'eau chaude est tout à fait absente. On doit aimer prendre une douche froide. J'ai quand même réussi à dormir lorsque le salon voisin de ma chambre est devenu silencieux. Merci!
