I recently stayed at what was advertised online as a Holiday Inn while on holiday in France, but it turned out to be quite a confusing and disappointing experience. After struggling to find the hotel, I discovered it had actually been rebranded as a B&B Hotel — something that wasn’t made clear online, which led to a lot of unnecessary hassle.
When I eventually arrived, the man at reception was quite rude and ignored me for a while before checking me in with little interest or care, which made for an uncomfortable welcome. The room itself was clean and had the basics, but nothing special. The area around the hotel also didn’t feel particularly safe.
One positive was the nearby restaurant, Asian One, which I’d definitely recommend. The food was lovely, the staff were very friendly, and they had some great vegetarian options.
Overall, not a stay I’d be in a rush to repeat.
