This was a unusual experience, especially with it being the first time in France! We chose this place because it was along the way with how many kilometers we wanted to drive with children for the day. The accommodations of a pool, open living space, sleeping spaces, free parking, and price (without the breakfast) were appealing. Front desk staff was bilingual and made a good and quick check-in experience. However, after that we had some disappointment at the pool... there were people at the pool that were obviously not supposed to be there, and a hotel manager was asking everyone what their room numbers were to use the pool. As a previous manager myself, I would like to advise the hotel to not ask for guests to give out hotel rooms out loud for security purposes, and I was very uncomfortable giving out my room number in front of people who shouldn't have been at the pool anyway. (Ask to show the room key instead). After much arguing between the manager and the non-guests, they finally caved left (not following any pool rules of any sort). Directly after that we had the next unfortunate drama of a bunch of teenagers jumping the fence and attempting to use the pool. I immediately informed the same manager, and she quickly escorted them out. After apologizing, she also clarified that there are budget cuts with security and that the security guard works only at certain times....obviously this is an issue with continuous break ins and I can't help but mention that some investments in maintenance would help. The fence behind the pool area needs to be fixed, a more secured and higher fence along the pool area, and a key card system to be established so that only guests can access the entrance to the pool (as the door was left open, so of course people could enter). On a positive note, the room was good enough for us for a one night stay - it was clean but just a bit run down. We did not eat the breakfast during our stay as we preferred to experience a French bakery along the way instead.
