uThis small, charming hotel is a find in the bustling city of Lyon because of its super-convenient location next to the Gare de Perrache and its incredible service. The owner, whose name is a variety of cherry, has a lovely collection of cherry-motif items displayed around the public areas, and her sunny, helpful demeanor made us feel as warmly welcome as that fruit is sweet. We were greeted by a pretty drawing room and airy breakfast area that made us feel right at home, and other members of the staff are just as eager as Mme R to make our visit a pleasant one.For a very reasonable price, this hotel wins our "best value" award. The only disclaimer--there is no air conditioning. In cool weather, this would not be an issue; but as we had to sleep with the windows open, we were awakened at dawn each morning by either street noise or a Rhone thunderstorm--or both!
