The hotel is central and there is plenty of parking in the area. The hotel itself is run down and desperately needs a lick of paint if nothing else.

Room smallest we’ve ever had. Overall a good place.

The hotel is right in the center of the town. The entrance is a little strange and it did not say originals hotel on it. The hotel itself is very basic and it smelt of curry? But bed was comfy and bathroom clean and modern.

The desk clerk seemed surprised that I had a hotel reservation, but aside from that the check-in was uneventful. The hotel room was a decent size for the price and the location is in the center of town. They do allow pets which leads me to a rather unpleasant experience. My dog was not allowed in the breakfast area. Fine, so I left her in my hotel room. Then, the fire alarm went off and all doors were closed. My first thought was the safety of my dog so I ran upstairs to get her. We descended the stairs and waited in the lobby. A woman appeared and stated in French something about the alarm being triggered and there was no danger. So I walk upstairs with my dog to the breakfast area. The hotel manager who approached me earlier asked me where I was taking my coffee and croissant. I explained that we were going back to my room. He told me that I couldn’t take it with to my room. I made the point that I won’t leave my dog alone in the room for fear that am actual fire would occur. We got to arguing when the fire alarm sounded again and as the door was closing it hit the coffee cup and coffee spilled onto my white shirt. I grabbed my dog and went outside and ordered a cappuccino at the cafe next door. This morning didn’t start out well. After the fire alarm stopped & no fire trucks appeared, we returned to the hotel. Now while taking a shower the night before, the water backed up & nearly overflowed onto the floor. I contacted the hotel & was told it would be fixed.

The hotel is very central to the cathedral and walking distance to the basilica.

The hotel is centrally located with convenient public parking nearby. Although not in tip-top condition, the place is clean and the beds are comfortable. The owner/operator stays at the premise so the services are good and efficient.

A little bit old school French Hotel, reasonable for the price.
