8.4 out of 10, Very good, (1001)
"Everyone was friendly when spoken to. My biggest issue was our room was very hot even with the air on- it didn’t seem to work. I could not cool down, and this is the end of march so I can’t imagine dealing with that in summer! I had to leave the balcony door open to try and get some cool air, which made me feel bad for neighbors since I have louder kids on the spectrum. Woke up sweating both nights and I absolutely hate waking up feeling gross. I wouldn’t pay this much for the uncomfortably hot...

Everything was perfect. Thank you so much Dominique and team for all the special attention you provide and the love with which you manage your hotel. "
