We stayed in many hotels on our trip (Paris, Avignon, Rome, Venice, Berlin, etc.) and this was by far the worst (and the most expensive with the exception of the room in Venice). Both rooms were filthy and had a very strong odor. You could wipe a damp towel on the floor and it would be black from the dirt. They did provide a broom that was so old and delapidated it was useless, but no mop. The queen bed was a sofa bed that was as hard as a rock, leaving you to feel as if you'd been beaten when you woke up. By absolute luck, because we were only coming from Avignon, we arrived early enough to get our rooms. I found out when I got there at a few minutes before noon that no one would have been available to let us in the building or give us our rooms had we arrived a few minutes later. Repeat guests or those who called directly would have known to make arrangements for room keys to be left in a coded lock box outside, but no mention was made of this during the booking process. This could have been an absolute disaster. It is true that accommodations in beach towns are often not up to par, but trust me on this one, if you want a clean, comfortable, pleasant-smelling room SKIP THIS ONE. I am leaving many wonderful reviews from our hotels on this trip-this is the only DUD.
