It is regrettable that this establishment so well kept winter is much less the summer! The cleaning is not done every day in the rooms, the fans do not work (almost unbearable with high heat) and the reception is really unpleasant. Conclusion: go to this institution in the winter, but avoid the summer where prices are, in an exaggerated way. It is a pity that the lure of gain pushes some hotels in Paceville to not be in the little care with tourists during the high season…
