O café da manhã de domingo que era para ser extendido até as 11 horas, quando chegamos não tinha mais nada nem pão. As atendentes disseram que tinha acabado e ficou por isso mesmo.

Toyoko Inn Marseille Saint Charles
Room was fine, but somewhat small. No room for a closet or shelves to put clothes, so we had to use the table for our clothes. The toilet seat was a bit to small, it was actually a difficult for a grown man to fit all "parts" into the toilet bowl.

Ibis Marseille Centre Gare Saint Charles
Very basic hotel. Front desk staff was helpful. They arranged a taxi to the airport for me. They advertised 24 hour food services which wasn't the case. The hotel is directly behind the train station. The walkway to the hotel entrance smelled of dog feces.
