    Hotel did not agree to my cancellation plea because of the French transportation strike. Was assured that the transportation strike wouldn't happen but true enough, it happened and affected my travel plans.

    Location at great value”

    In the heart of the historical center, on a quiet pedestrian side street. Just because a street is pedestrian, doesn't guarantee you a quiet sleep...this is a college town with lots of students who stay out late and congregate at corners, bars, plazas, pedestrian streets, etc. Note: the closest Uber can drop you is 2 short blocks away but a bit confusing in which direction - I used my GPS and had no trouble. Rooms are small but have everything you need.
