Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great and not-so-great experiences. The small room initially lacking an air purifier and humidifier was a downside, but the enormous royal suite made up for it. The delightful and very French dinner was a highlight, while the breakfast was a notable meal to start the day.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly nice and helpful. The location was superb, close to the city center and many must-visit locations. The dining experience was top-notch with a variety of delicious choices. However, the rooms, while comfortable, could have been more spacious, and the morning noise outside the hotel was a bit bothersome.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The royal suite I stayed in was enormous and felt very French, the dinner was delight-filled and inexpensive, and the breakfast was a noteworthy repast. However, the room was very small for the price and seemed a bit outdated, possibly reflecting its high-end status in the 1980s. On the bright side, I was given a parking spot right out front of the main lobby as the garage was full.
