"Amazing…"

Andy O, 28 Juin 2026

An absolutely stunning hotel with amazing staff in a very beautiful location. Genuinely the staff could not do enough to help and make our long weekend stay a great stay. Hotel is well decorated and clean. We came for a family christening and the hotel also hosted the gathering…..this was also incredibly well managed with food genuinely up there with the best of it. Truly faultless……

"Pretty location but the rooms need some improvements. NOT close to Orly."

Sactolizzy, 02 Juin 2026

This is a lovely location out in the country, but very basic. It was advertised as being close to Orly, having free breakfast, and a resort kind of atmosphere (fancy restaurant and spa). The cab ride to Orly was 70E, so I would not call that “close”. Despite Trip Advisor saying free breakfast is offered to Best Western members, that was not true. The rooms themselves are basic. We upgraded to the queen room with a view, which had the bed, what I think was a child's bed, bedside tables and a desk. The room is large but there was no sofa, fridge, microwave, or air conditioning. No blankets in the room (not a problem with the heat). They provided one robe and one hand towel (for two people - weird). We happened to visit during a heat wave. Staff at the hotel were very accommodating and brought ice and a fan. The patio was charming, but there is no shade. The room was very clean and in good condition. The location is absolutely beautiful and the walking trails delightful. Every staff member was kind, pleasant and helpful.

"Disfunctional establishment with no notion of hospitality."

Christophe C, 21 Décembre 2025

I would like to report here the extent of the malfunctions we encountered during our stay. Their accumulation reveals not an isolated incident, but a structural problem in management and service quality, entirely incompatible with the standards advertised by your establishment and by the Best Western chain. Here are the facts: • Unlit parking area covered with gravel, making it impossible to roll luggage. • Dirt pathways rendered unusable, filled with puddles, preventing any movement with wheeled suitcases. • Contradictory information regarding the half‑board menu depending on which staff member was serving. • Extremely limited menu, to the point that we had to eat the same dishes for an entire week. • Inconsistent room cleaning, with parts of the coffee machine found in several places. • TV remote controls with dead batteries upon arrival. • Empty shower gel bottles. • Power outage on the morning of our departure. • Sauna out of service from 14 December onward, followed by complete unavailability of the entire wellness area during our stay. As a result, we were unable to use the complimentary hour included in our booking. No commercial gesture was offered, not even in relation to my wife's massage treatment. • Clear disorganization at reception: three different staff members over two days were needed to obtain a simple invoice. • Restaurant staff generally pleasant, but the reception desk was particularly deficient: no smiles, minimal friendliness, confusing information. A level of hospitality unworthy of an establishment of this category. All of these points combined resulted in an experience far below what we were entitled to expect. At no point did we perceive any willingness to compensate for the inconveniences suffered, nor even to acknowledge the shortcomings. We will not be returning to your establishment and will inform Best Western of the situation. We will also share our experience on review platforms and social media so that other guests can make an informed decision.

"Alright. Not so clean, but cheap"

Oscar T, 17 Juin 2025

Alright hotel, nothing special and completely normal. However, the room didn't feel very clean, like the desk was kind of greasy as well as some solid build-up on the showerhead. But the stay itself was very cheap, so I am overall quite happy. The aircondition worked perfectly well as well.

"The beauty of the nature"

Seaside66787741924, 17 Mars 2025

The location is very special, surrounded by open space, three beautiful horses and around, very fresh air and a quiet place. The staff, especially Candis, Coel, and Peter, with the others, are soooo kind and helpful. Everything was perfect. Very clean hotel. There was one problem is that it is away from the city center that you have to call for a taxi either Bolt or Uber.

"Quiet, comfortable hotel, hosting company events, disappointing restaurant"

Marianne S, 15 Octobre 2024

This is a comfortable, quiet, modern hotel with excellent beds and spacious bedrooms, located in the countryside with horse stables nearby. It hosts a lot of company meetings. There is little public transportation therefore you need a car or a taxi (35 euros for a 15-20 min drive from the Massy-Palaiseau RER and TGV station). Unfortunately the restaurant is a real disappointment.

"One of the worst hotels I have stayed in. Not a 4 star"

Joanne S, 23 Septembre 2024

On a very warm day all the air conditioning had been turned off. And the room temperature was unbearable. The restaurant wasn't open and after a 9 hour drive we would have liked more than the 3 poor options offered. Reception desk staff were not interested. If a hotel advertises that it offers certain facilities then these should be available
