Une nuit à l'hôtel le france

J'ai passé une nuit dans cet hôtel car j'avais un rendez vous le lendemain. J'ai mis le supplément pour avoir un grand lit. Le lit était confortable. La petite salle de douche avec WC tout à fait fonctionnelle et conforme à mes attentes. J'ai été bien reçu par le personnel.

Accueil déplorable mais hôtel propre

Nous n'avons pas été bien accueillis, il y a eu apparemment un problème sur le tarif de la chambre à la réservation car il était pour 2 personnes et nous étions 3. La personne qui nous a reçu n'a pas du tout était agréable alors que nous n'y étions pour rien. Quand j'ai demandé où était le parking on m'a répondu qu'il y avait celui de la gare à 5€ la nuit et en repartant le lendemain je me suis aperçue que l'hôtel disposait d'un parking dans une petite rue un peu plus loin mais on ne nous l'a même pas proposé. quand on m'a proposé le petit déjeuner j'ai demandé à combien il était et si c'était le même tarif pour les enfants et on m'a sèchement répondu oui. je voyageais seule avec mes 2 enfants de 6 et 9 ans et franchement j'ai eu l'impression de gêner, le lendemain matin au petit déjeuner la personne de l’accueil ne nous a même pas adressé la parole alors qu'il a discuté avec les autres voyageurs. Sinon l'hôtel et la chambre étaient très propres

Not Bad for the Price

The reception closes and you need a code to get into the hotel after a certain hour. No one told me this or gave me a code at check in. I had to hang around for another guest to let me in. They are extremely nice, but there seem to be a lot of loose ends that could be tightened up. Then again, at this price you have to expect some hiccups.
