L'Oasis de l'Île, Refuge Urbain

The bridge to go on the island made it really beautiful. A good carpenter and garden expert would make that place a 5 starts. I loved the fact that it was very quiet. The breakfast is delicious and satisfying. Eating with a view to the riverand the view was splendid .

The one thing that i wasnt thrilled about was no handsoap in the bathroom, or soap for the shower. The breakfast was average, and I was expecting a meat choice with the eggs. The coffee was not great. The young woman at the front desk didnt seem to onterested in service either. I will give it another chance in future when I'm back in the area and I hope to receive better value for the money spent. THe comfort of the bed was excellent though.

The situation of the property is beautiful on a tiny island, but the bridge to get there was so narrow, I don't think a big SUV could get by without a scratch. The worst thing was the front desk girl, who was dressed very slovenly, and when we told her we'd be a little late she said that the front desk closed at 7:00 (or whenever - I can't remember now.) So we drove about 90 mph to get there. As we came huffing and puffing in, fearful the door would be locked, she airily told us that the front door is always unlocked and that she left our check-in sheet in our room. It would have been nice to have been told that when we called! The pools were filthy and the grounds were just very unkempt. I believe the "resort fee" was $38, but we were not interested in swimming or using the steam or sauna, so I was glad she did not charge us. The TV was the worst we've ever had to deal with. There were no instructions at all. It took at least 15 minutes, maybe even 30 to figure it out We strolled around the grounds and were astonished at what a mess they are. Several boards have been replaced on the front porch and ramp. Everything needs a good coat of paint.
