Authentic by Balladins – Rodez / Le Ségala presents an interesting juxtaposition of historic charm and the need for modern updating. The hotel, with its roots in the architectural style of the 1970s and 80s, undeniably carries a certain retro allure that might remind guests of a bygone era of chic. However, for contemporary travelers seeking convenience and comfort, the lack of air conditioning and outdated facilities do not align with the expectations typically associated with a three-star establishment.
