“Just superb! Been coming here for 25+ years! Food is outstanding always! Never a mistake made! Traditional French food with Michelin quality and interest and invention. Wine list is outstanding too. New hotel is terrific and so modern and stylish. Stayed twice in May. Breakfast is excellent and plentiful. Staff are super and I love the new wine boutique!! THANK YOU for 2 superb nights and dinners and breakfasts!! Do try the Pied de Cochon as it's the town speciality.”
“I can't say enough good things about this hotel. Our car broke down on the highway, and roadside assistance towed us to Saint-Menehould. The hotel was able to accommodate us for two nights with no reservation, with pets. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, assisting us with translating with the mechanic. Our room was clean, comfortable, and spacious. Their breakfast was excellent. If you are in the area, definitely stay here. The restaurant is amazing. We had an incredible meal here. The waitstaff was friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. I would absolutely visit again.”
“We needed a place to stay while on a cross-European road trip and chose this hotel based solely on its location directly halfway to our destination. This is truly a hidden gem of France and we couldn’t be happier with our accommodations. A large amount of trust was placed upon my family by the staff, and it is a very welcome change from most hotels these days. I would recommend staying here to anyone who needs a clean and welcoming place to relax during their trip. I’m not sure when we will be able to visit Europe again, but we will definitely want to stay here when we do..! Thank y’all so much…!!”
“What a lucky find en route from Black Forest to Calais but equally for anybody heading to the North or West of France. Staff were very welcoming, room was spotless and food and service in the restaurant were impeccable. Parking in the square adjoining the hotel was easy. We will most definitely come back here as this is an ideal location just minutes off the motorway. THANK YOU!”
