Just the one night stay as we travelled from Spain to northern England. It’s very easy to find a couple of minutes drive off the motorway. The receptionist was nice and spoke English, great, as I don’t speak french! The room was clean and tidy with a little outside terrace, and there was a swimming pool too. We didn’t use the restaurant for breakfast or evening meals, but it looked okay.
There are 3 or 4 other hotels nearby and a couple of restaurants.
It’s about 30 minutes walk into the town centre of Saintes, so would recommend a taxi. The town of Saintes is absolutely beautiful with lots of restaurants, shops and a river with pleasure cruises, we were quite amazed.
