I stayed here by chance one night whilst motorcycling across France. The room I had seemed recently decorated, modern and clean. It faced the street but wasn't too noisy. The receptionist was extremely helpful, directing me to the off-street parking in a locked enclosure about a block away and giving advice on eating. As it turned out I ate in-house and it wasn't bad, but a tad more expensive than I'd normally want to pay when I'm just tired and hungry. It was a noisy meal though, as there was a party of teenagers celebrating something. This was a problem once I'd gone to bed, some of those teenagers were staying in rooms in my corridor and were running from room to room knocking and stage-whispering (shouting). When I woke up for the 3rd time and realised it wasn't going to stop, I discovered I couldn't phone reception to complain because there was no directory or guest guide, and the usual single numbers didn't do it. Finally I got up furious and naked, leant out the door and shouted at the spotty prat in the corridor...problem solved. The hotel DID give me a massive discount when I mentioned it the next day.

stayed here 2 nights didnt have breakfast mc donalds side of train station and a few lovely petisseries 5 minutes walk up the road,this hotel is well positioned for the train station which will link you to the main lines TVG and Eurostar.The staff was great very helpfull pointing us in the right directions for various places bars and cafes check in was swift so was checking out so they played their part in all contact we had with them evan though we got there very late and was all closed up and soe going home. the rooms are slightly outdated and a little drab with dark colours etc but for a few nights its more than fine and at the right price too,end Febuary we stayed and the front of the hotel fro the station right up the road into town is being repaved so straight out side of hotel is all up and like a building site but they have made access to and from the hotel as best they can so although sightly accessable this will take monthes to complete thrugh to the town centre but a few weeks would think be away from the hotel although the machines are parked over from hotel in compound,also hotel being built there too, but after saying that didnt bother us that much we was out most of time and at night the workers had gone but work started about 8am and you culd here them although not too loud.but if you want a lie in pick another hotel.other than that a cheap hotel at the moment probably because of the works so cant complain to much the price made us book it.
