My first surprise coming here was when I went into the B & B hotel lobby and was told, "No sorry, this is the B & B 4-star, your hotel is next door." So then I went next door and was told "No sorry, this is the B & B 3-star, YOUR HOTEL IS OUT BACK BY THE PARKING" . (in French of course!) Yes, unknown to me, and probably unknown to many others, the so-called B&B hotel chain operates a 2-star, a 3-star and a 4-star hotel all on the same site! What a strange way to confuse customers! So with that out of the way I trudged out back to my 2-star accomodation, only to find that it is almost identical with an Ibis-Budget. Small room with just the basics. Not a room you would like to spend any time in. Very disappointing for 75 euros! I was really expecting something a lot better. Also, why call your hotel B&B if breakfast isn't included? This violates the whole concept of what a B&B is. Breakfast here is an extra item, and based on the quality of the hotel, I didn't have much confidence it will be very good. I had to get downtown to the station by 10 am on a Sunday, and when the bus didn't turn up at 8am I decided I'd better not risk the next one turning up. I ended up walking all the way to the centre, a good 2.5 miles by a non-pedestrianised way. On the positive side , the hotel is a very short walk to cite Europe with a very good food court. The Flunch serves French food cafeteria style at bargain prices. There is also a good burger place there. Still the words "YOUR HOTEL IS OUT BACK BY THE PARKING" will forever remain in my memory as B&B hotels slogan. Something akin to "OUT BACK WITH YOU, YOU SECOND CLASS CITIZEN! THAT'S WHAT YOU DESERVE!"
