We loved staying there. A nice spacious room with a view of the harbor. The decor is a bit outdated, however, it was very fitting for the area. The room had kettle and tea plus breakfast was inexpensive and lovely with traditional French style.

Parking is free and plentiful, and the location provides easy, walkable access to most attractions. The room had a lot of ware and was very hot when I entered due to afternoon sun beaming in with window closed, drapes wide open, and no air conditioning.

Comfortable bed, big shower, great location!

Lovely staff, a little date decor which we LOVE because lots of the new hotels are so bland and stark, most importantly the beds are super comfortable and I'm a big guy (23 stone, 6'5" tall) so I am used to cheaper hotels having terrible mattresses. Not this place! Nice big showers too! Not the style of breakfast we're used to so we passed on that. Very good value for money! We look forward to staying there again!
