Stayed here in May 2002 having walked in ‘on spec’ early one evening and again in September 2004. The public areas are well appointed but the room was a little disappointing on both occasions. They are fairly small, feel tired and are in need of renovation. The location though is very good – in a quiet street only a short walk from the town centre with its endless choice of restaurants and close to the harbour. The hotel has a small car park, which was usually full, though I always found a space next to the hotel on the street. The choice of fruits, cereals and breads at breakfast was excellent. The secluded garden area is well shaded; the pool area a little cramped. On my 1st visit the receptionist went out of her way to help me to sort out problems with my TGV rail connection to Paris so I was very impressed. My feelings toward this hotel are however a little prejudiced. Despite written confirmation of my booking for my 2nd visit I found myself in dispute with the owner who was adamant I could not stay for what should have been my 3rd and last night. After a heated argument he resolved it by arranging for me to stay at another hotel nearby at no additional cost to me despite its higher rating. Obviously I was not impressed at having to move and in fairness I hardly conducted myself with any great diplomacy either! Mistakes sometimes happen but it was interesting to note the next guest took priority over an existing one! However, if the hotel fixes the rather jaded rooms I would still recommend this to others who want a quiet and convenient location, close to all Ste Maxime’s amenities.
