This was the second time we stayed at this hotel . The first was a week before on our road trip to Germany . We were impressed by all the staff they are so friendly and even remembered our dog on the second trip . The outdoor dining terrace that is next to the beautiful clear river is a delight .

Unlike other Novotel - lovely
Just stayed for one night on our way from Barcelona to Dijon. Amazing bar/restaurant, unlike any other Novotel we have stayed in. Room was good, king size and 2 singles for kids. Breakfast very good and dinner was themed night so we didn’t have it, but looked great.

Lovely hotel, friendly helpful staff and nice restaurant, its a convenient location on the edge of town close to the autoroute junction but a risky walk into town along the main road.
