Nestled in a scenic location, Auberge du Lac offers rooms that cater to travelers for short stays at fair prices. While many guests found the rooms to be clean and reasonably comfortable, the overall experience was tempered by the aging and tired state of the accommodations. The rooms, although simple, often showcased signs of wear and tear, including outdated decor, creaky doors and beds and dilapidated bathrooms that sometimes featured peculiar layouts, such as a toilet in the doorway and bathtubs without shower curtains.
Despite these issues, some guests appreciated the satisfactory room conditions for a brief stay and noted that the rooms served their basic purpose. A major concern highlighted by many was the need for a refresh and renovation with particular attention needed for improving cleanliness and addressing musty smells due to dampness and aged fixtures.
The lack of amenities such as air conditioning, fans and ensuite facilities seemed to contribute to the overall discomfort. Nonetheless, the shared bathrooms, when clean, were deemed usable. Location-wise, some rooms were favorably quiet, especially those opposite the train station, despite being near a busy road.
Ultimately, Auberge du Lac provides satisfactory accommodations for travelers needing an economical and short-term stay, but it is clear that significant updates and improvements would greatly enhance the guest experience.
