Good hotel for the price range . Friendly staff, enough space in the room, easy check in. Room was not very clean, but it was not expensive either. Located near the motorway, but yet quiet in a natural environment. Breakfast was delicious with everything you need in the morning and even more,

Calling all ferry passengers, if you are catching a ferry in Northern France do not miss this gem. We stopped on the off chance we might get a room at 1 one morning and low and behold we did. 71 euros for a double, large room fresh decor, really comfortable setting with helpful staff! This will be our go to stop off in future! I highly recommend the shop in the nearby service station. Fantastic! From charcuterie, penknifes, to kitchenware! Also huge selection of local cheese. A marvel of a store!

I was travelling from Germany to Portugal and needed a overnight close to the Autoroute. Usually I am hesitant to stay in such Hotels, as multiple bad experiences. Also here, I thought, based on relatively old recennsions, the Hotel was not good. I tried it anyways and was super surprised. You park safe and close to the Hotel. The entrance is easy to find and inside I found it cozy. Billard, Chairs to sit and a warm welcome from a French Lady, who was speaking English. Thats unusual and I hadnt to use my "scholl francais". The price was ok and the room super. As liitle as all those kind of accomodations, but super clean. The bed cover, its October, already in warm style, very cool and very much surprised. The bathroom with a decent shower and absolutely clean. I mean, I got what I paid for and left next morninbg happy after a good night. I would stay again! (Male, 47y, German)
