Poor standard of reception area and stairs.Paint chipped, steep stairs overused as lifts minimal. Ridiculously long corridor to room . (200 steps)Failed shower, failed again despite being mendedPainting outside our room leaving smell and intrusion of workmen by windows. Lack of apology when complained. Poor choice of evening meal. Hotel looked from outside as if it was 60s flat block waiting for demolition. Nothing inside compensated!Our last stay was at best western , delightful and well maintained in Nimes , what a contrast!NB staff ( excluding manager) were all pleasant, breakfast good especially fresh fruit.
