Highly recommended

This was our second visit to the California. Our hosts were charming and extremely helpful. The room was large and had the advantage of a balcony. The shower room and toilet were extremely well equipped and the bed comfortable. Parking is free on the local roads but one needs a little patience to find a spot right near the hotel.

The owner didn't let us stay because the reception at her hotel was closed... We had a problem on the road (a major traffic jam due to a car accident) and arrived very late, but she didn't offer us ANY solution. She just called us at 22:00 and told us that "the reception was closed." We lost the money from the reservation, and she left us on the street. Finally, we were able to stay at a B&B... You said:

Great value, friendly hotel.

Nice hotel, I had a single room with double aspect windows. Simple but comfortable and clean. I loved having a hot bath after a day cycling. Nice, friendly staff, happy to store the bicycle.

Nice site in a good location.

The hotel is lovely. It's housed in a classic townhouse, the rooms are stylish, with beautiful windows and shutters, plus sometimes balconies with flowers. The location is perfect, a few steps from the spa park and water springs. The price is commensurate with the standard. The staff are very open, helpful and willing to talk.
