HOTEL: First, we arrived in daylight hours, checked in to our ”suite” , and were told to go to our room 126 (called Celestre on the web site). We had to walk down a very dimly lit hallway that was so dark, we thought we were were walking into a haunted house. We could not even read the room numbers unless you got about a foot away from the room doorways. Is this some sort of joke ?! There was a light at the end of the long hallway for a large wall photo, and only when we got to the end of the hallway could we see our room number. Did not get a feeling of being safe nor customer friendly. Once in the room, which was also dimly lit, we encountered several ”techy” light switches (designed for setting ambient lighting), some didn't work, others worked for coloured LED strip lights which were confusing to change colours and intensity. Lighting intensity made it more difficult to see what function the small print on the switches performed. Remote control for the TV would power on the TV, but would not change the channels, screen just kept showing the hotel advertisement. Remote control for the fireplace (although we did not need it) also failed to function Website photo of the room shows a wave type ( ~ ) lounger, not what was in the room, which was a prop up back lounger. The A/C unit had a very loud fan, and very poorly positioned right alongside the bed, which made sleeping with the unit on virtually impossible. Oh, did I mention that there was an ON/OFF light switch at the front door for selecting whether A/C or heating ( and I think it was in French only). Last but not least, the Spa's hotel is situated across the street from the Spa (a 5 lane undivided boulevard). I believe there's a limo if you want to wait for it, but don't count on the limo at Spa closing time (10 pm), it's parked so you have to walk across the boulevard in the night. We also got to experience this closing experience along with a major downpour, dressed in our bath robes and flip flops. SPA: Very nice and well equipped spa and bistro, Therapeutic massage with Mark Hindle was excellent, although more than twice the price of my home massage therapist. Therapist agreed to wear a mask on my request (I wore one throughout), but only because he was feeling under the weather and coughing a bit. I would go back to the spa, but forget the hotel, not worth the price.
