Fontet Vacation Packages

Overall a clean hotel in a nice location. Some homeless people hanging around near the property, in particular loitering around the parkade entrances. The rooms were generally nice. However, the first room we were assigned had a strong sewage smell. We immediately asked for another room and they were able to accommodate the change. The major wildfires were going on at this time and there was the possibility of parts of Bordeaux being evacuated. As a result, according to a staff member, many guests canceled their stay at this hotel. We had booked 3 nights and asked the staff if we could cancel and obtain a refund for the last night due to the wildfire risk and our drive to San Sebastian airport to catch our flight being at risk due to road closures. The staff refused our request. We tried through the Expedia staff, who were great btw, but they were also refused by the hotel as they said they were complying with their policy, even though we would have checked out before noon check out time on the 2nd day. We were disappointed that they were very black and white about adhering to their policies even though we felt we had a very legitimate reason due to the escalating wildfire situation and our risk of not being able to make our flight on our last day. I have written multiple reviews through Expedia and this is the only more negative one that I have written. I do want to stress I am very happy with Expedia’s service but this hotel did not meet expectations.

Even though I only stayed one night, the experience was amazing. Meticulous attention to detail, making my stay a very memorable one. The food is incredible, whether you choose to dine A La Carte or try one of their very well put together Degustacion menus. Great selection of wine and they take great deal of pride in presenting the local Bordeaux region, its wines and local delicacies. Highly recommended.

Great hotel, spotlessly clean, quiet, great sleep, amazing air conditioning, fresh breakfast. Good location into city centre. Needs a safe in the room, and mirror near desk & plugs for hairdryer. Would definitely recommend, as good value, and would stay here again.

The staff spoke very good english and was cordial and friendly. The air conditioning was weak and the rooms were very tiny.
