This was the first hotel we stayed in France (after coming from Geneva, Switzerland). The location of the hotel was quite out of the way, with no nearby shopping mall or eateries. There's a petrol kiosk with a small convenience store and KFC was about 15mins walk away and all others were industrial or commercial shops or plant nurseries. The hotel has a nice and big lobby though, cosy and relaxing with many nice decors at the side, like a huge teddy bear etc. And there is no formal checkin counter and staff just sat at an open table to work. That's cool. Our room was 281, deep inside the building from the lobby and needed to take a flight of stairs up. But do note that there is no lift in the hotel! We have been foretold by our tour leader and packed a simple handcarry bags while leaving our trolley luggages in our coach and so there's no problem for us. But we saw other guests, having some difficult time in moving their luggages up the stairs! Our room was nice and cosy and cleaned. Beds were comfortable and we had a good rest. What we liked was the separation between the toilet and the bathroom. The TV had limited channels too, unlike the others with International channels like NHK, Phoenix or CCTV etc, mostly French and a couple of standard BBC/CNN channels, that's all. The restaurant was spacious and nice, and the breakfast spread was generally good. Foods were nice too. Staff were friendly and efficient in clearing used tables but food refill was a little slow. Overall, we felt it should receive a 3.5 star rating taking into consideration all the factors. But since we cannot give a 0.5 rating and feel that it has not reached the 4-star rating, so we decided to award it a 3-star.
