Grand Port Maritime de Marseille

Clearly, this no longer a five star luxury hotel if it ever was. The location is great. The courtyard is lovely. The staff was truly excellent. But the property is tired and a bit run down. We hated the bedding and crappy pillows. That said, it’s not that bad so long as you adjust your expectations. Charles Dickens may have stayed here, which is very cool, but a hotel makeover is overdue.

Comfy bed, clean room, great view from balcony. Nice breakfast, but boring room service menu. Have stayed before, will stay again.
