Average quality for a short stay
You need to drive to go to a restaurant. Hotel restaurant is very average. Breakfast is ok but selection is poor. Insufficient parking to hotel if there are many business visitors.

Nice hotel outside Bordeaux for a quick stop.
Nice hotel in the outside of Bordeaux with big free parking, free Wi-Fi and reasonable priced breakfast. The Hotel is not to far from downtown, but expect around 20 minutes to drive the about 4 or 5 miles because of traffic and the crazy number of red lights asst every block that stay green for 15 second at the time. Parking downtown is expensive and difficult, so a good option is bus 11 very close to the hotel, but a transfer to a tram is required, but I think it is a better option than driving. Breakfast is very good and worth the money, but I think they are missing some form of cheese like in most hotels in France or Spain. The room was very comfortable and clean, and big enough with plenty of hot water. The staff is nice and gave us good directions. They speak good English. The hotel has nice areas outside for relaxing. The pool area was locked, because of unattended children I think. I guess I could have asked for the key but it was raining and cold (end of September) so I didn't bother. Over all a nice comfortable stay with good facilities and good ford just next to the highway.

Small friendly hotel, staff very helpful and all seem to speak English. Dinner reasonable priced and delicious. Breakfast buffet was very good, selection of breads, cakes, ham, cheeses, fruit, cereals juices and tea/coffee.. Bathroom light difficult to find and toilet roll dispenser stopped dispensing after first use, luckily tissues were available. There is a Macdonalds and a Lidl close by. Very handy for the number 11 bus into Bordeaux

Hotel Convenient to Airport
Nice comfortable bed, so got a good nights sleep before my ongoing journey. The room had a strong smell, probably caused by the plumbing and drainage system in the bathroom. They should rectify this. Otherwise an enjoyable stay.

a little oasis !
spent one night here en route to Bordeaux airport. great stay and would definitely use it again. they have an earlier check in and later check out than most. very nice pool with loungers set in small garden. could have easily spent the afternoon lounging about there but went into Bordeaux ( 15 mins by car ) after a quick dip . lovely decked terrace at front of hotel with lots of big leafy trees giving shade.we had lunch there which was very good and very busy.evening meals also served. hotel is surrounded by high hedges,screening it from the side road. hard to believe you were near to the ring road and mc donalds ! modern bright interior and couldn't fault the staff. no problems with a 3.30 am check out . we wouldn't look anywhere else if looking for a hotel near to the airport. excellent price too .

Average hotel
The hotel was OK for a night sleep. We couldn't figure out how to turn off the A/C unit. The remote had a maximum allowed set temperature, so if it got hotter than that, the cold air would flow in the room. We like the pool robot that was moving around cleaning the bottom of the pool. The hotel seemed to be well equipped with technology. We ate breakfast at the neighboring McDonald's, which was pretty clean.
