Nuisances

In order to respect the rest of the guests, please do not slam the doors or make too much noise, especially between 10 pm and 8 am.

R.1334-30 and R; 1334-31 of the Public Health Code), and to fight against the exploitation of minors (clients as well as accompanying persons). A hotel bedroom is a place of rest.
