The hotel is old and tired by most standards, but the bed, linens, and en-suite bathroom was clean and comfortable. The location is phenomenal for those who aren’t planning on staying in a hotel room all day. Moreover, the check-in was a breeze. That’s typically an issue for tourists from America who arrive in the early morning but often are unable to check-in to their hotel room until 3pm. Not here though—a very easy check-in, which I appreciated. Again, the location is phenomenal.
Others recommended a room facing the courtyard. When I booked this, I asked for a courtyard-facing room and they provided me that upon arrival. The desk attendant told me that, if I wanted a room with more sunlight, I could just come back and ask him for a street-facing room. Very accommodating. Also, the free breakfast probably saved me a few euros by getting some good croissants and juice.
I should note that I stayed at this hotel after driving from Normandy in a Sixt rental car. There is a Sixt pick-up/drop-off premium location less than 500 feet from this hotel, which could make your France travels pretty easy.
