I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which is conveniently located for accessing the autoroute and is surrounded by nice scenery. The rooms were clean and comfortable, making my sleep enjoyable. However, the noise from nearby rooms was a bit unsettling at times. The staff was welcoming and friendly, which added to the overall positive vibe. While the price was reasonable, I think they could improve the overall dining options.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which boasts a fantastic location just off the autoroute and is surrounded by lovely scenery. The rooms were clean and comfortable, making my stay quite enjoyable. The staff was friendly, but there were some areas like dining where improvement is needed. Overall, the price was reasonable for the amenities offered, but the lack of diversity in breakfast options was a bit disappointing.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with its convenient location in Lyon city center, making it easy to explore. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. However, the nearby rowdy activities did disrupt the otherwise nice atmosphere, and the Wi-Fi comes with an extra charge, which was a bit of a letdown.
