“Badly run Bourges hotel”
The main reason that we booked this hotel was because of the stunning looking restaurant. However, when we arrived it was shut - not just for lunch and dinner, but also for breakfast. We discovered it would be closed for the next 3 days and there is no mention of this on the hotel website. The bar was closed by 9.45pm and the lift to our wing of the hotel was shut down by 10.00pm. Therefore, we had to use an unlit back staircase and corridor to access our bedroom on the 3rd floor. This route had clearly not been cleaned and the carpets were dirty. Perhaps that was why the route was so badly lit! When we complained, the reason given was staff shortages. Our room reeked of smoke, which had permeated into the fabric of the soft furnishings and the bed linen. It was very noisy at night because the hotel is on the main road. It was the most expensive hotel in our third tour of France and definately not good value for money. We have stayed at many fantastic hotels in France and we can therefore compare with confidence.
