Hotels near Cqs Julien, Macon

We wanted to spend the night here while on a long drive home from the south of France to the Netherlands. We called around 11:30 PM to inquire about availability for our family of 3. The person answering the phone said yes, no problem and confirmed the price we saw online. When we arrived, we had to reserve a room through a machine at the entrance. We entered ”3 persons”, but then the system offered us only a twin room. The person who had answered the phone was there, he told us he was only the security guard and not the receptionist. He said he supposed there would be a third bed in the room, since we had entered ”3 persons”. However, there was no way to check, because only after paying at the machine we would receive the room number and code to access the room. As it was midnight by then, we booked and paid the room anyway, found out that indeed, it had only two beds. The security guard could not care less about this situation, did not offer any sort of help or solution. Then we took our camping mat - which we luckily had in our car - and one of us slept on the floor. The next morning we went to talk about this at the reception. We were told, in an unfriendly way without any understanding for the unpleasantness of the whole situation, that the security guard had no access to the booking system so he could not tell us about availability on the phone. And that for 3 people we simply should have booked 2 rooms. Which would have cost 160 euros, not really our idea of a budget stay... Aside from this bad experience, the room was okay (for 2 persons), good beds, OK bathroom. We were not happy that it was not possible to switch off the air conditioning, and there was traffic noise in the morning, but this is inherent to booking a hotel near the highway so we did not mind about this.

A good stop over hotel, not too far from the motorway. Clean and comfortable. Coffee facilities. Shower a good size. Parking secure at night. Receptionists friendly, check in speedy. They had suggestions for a place to eat in the evening and spoke good English as well as French. Would stay here again. We booked though the originals hotel website.

Les chambres conviennent pour 1 nuit. Elles ont été rénovées. Un peu particulier d avoir le lavabo dans la chambre et non la salle de bain. L espace entre la douche et les WC est assez étroit mais pour 1 nuit d étape c est parfait. L hôtel est situé directement à la sortie de l autoroute. Des restaurants se trouvent à 6min en voiture. Bon petit dejeuner
