Best Western Hôtel Le Sud

“Good stop”

Stayed at this hotel on my way to the Northern Alps. A convenient location near the Old City. The room was big enough. Wifi in the room. Very good breakfast buffet but not cheap at 12 euros. Easy parking

“Good overnight stop”

Good hotel for an overnight stop, not too far off the motorway and about a 20 minute walk from the centre of Manosque where there are plenty of restaurants. Room quite small but bathroom had bath with shower. There were tea/coffee making facilities but no fridge/minibar. Breakfast was nice but very… more

Hotel restaurant is closed for dinner at weekends.

“Mixed experience: Rooms nice, restaurant catastrophic”

We staid here for 4 nights, because the hotel is close to a golf course we were eager to play. The rooms are nice and the service is friendly. The breakfast buffet is ok. The location close to a major road will create a problem when leaving the window open overnight. The restaurant is a catastrophe. The cook might have good ideas, but apparently lacks resources. Therefore one is offered only 1 menu, consisting of 3 choice each for entrée, main course and desert. The servings for the main course are very small. 1st evening: Entrecote of beef. But, no, you do not get a steak - only three slices of it. With cold balls of apple in lukewarm dots of gravy. Anyway, the principle seemed to be ok. My desert was an assortment of cheese, meaning: 3 types of cheese. 2nd evening: My wife had salmon as main dish. Meaning: 5 cubes of salmon, side length 2.5 cm, neatly arranged in a row, no side dish. I had Gardiane de Taureau, meaning stew of beef, on creamy polenta. Not bad. The third choice for main dish was another kind of fish, which I tried to avoid. My desert was Ile flottante, meaning foam of egg white floating on vanilla sauce, including two bisquits, also not bad. 3rd evening: The menu was _exactly_ the same as on day 2, no variation. Since I did not want to go for fish, I had again - Gardiane de Taureau. Much less polenta, which was on the cold side. The desert of my wife was Ile flottante - but came with much lesser amount of vanilla sauce and only half a bisquit. Normally, after such an experience I would go to another place. But on the fourth evening we were tired from golf and decided to carry it through. 4th evening: The menu was _exactly_ the same as on day 2. Since I did not want to go for fish, I had again - Gardiane de Taureau. And this was the worst experience: 5 small cubes of meat, but 8 black olives. The gravy was lumpy, clearly a warmup from day 2. The polenta (an even even less amount than on day 3) was _not_ creamy, but lumpy, cold and tasteless. To finish the experience: My assortment of cheese consisted of only two different types, and the Ile flottante of my wife again had only half a bisquit. To summarize this: Unless the policy of the restaurant to offer warmups for three days in a row is significantly changed, one should avoid this by all means. Rather, get a box of pizza and bring it to your room.
