I found this property to have an old-world charm. It's not a modern facility but the rooms were clean and well equipped. The staff was attentive and present. We were in Melun to visit with friends so we were only in the hotel for sleeping though we did partake in the breakfast service twice. The rooms were quiet and cozy (we did have a noisy neighbor one evening - the noise was fine but the smoking in the room was not - we thought it was a no smoking building but they may have been breaking the rules). The breakfast was as expected. Good espresso and coffee machine, bread assortments, cereal, and dried fruits and nuts, and even "American' eggs and bacon (not the best but this is understandable). All in all, we had a lovely stay and would recommend it as it had good value for us. Our only negative was the high heat. We were able to turn off the heat in our room but not in public areas.
