Logis les Charmilles Chalon-Sur-Saône Sud

Just out of the motorway, still quiet, nice building and reception. The room was OK, bathroom Spartan, no shower curtain, no toilet paper stand! We had a nice chat at the reception bar with a glass of good sparkling wine before dinner, the the problems started: we had no common language with the personnel, who ran away every time we tried to make an order. The Hungarian receptionist was the only one we could communicate, somehow the timing did not work; the wines ( excellent) came late, far after the courses. About hte courses: starters were good, steak stiff, cheeses excellent with the red that came late.

Although an extremely bad room it is probably one of the better ones we have experienced in France. Access to the room was up a very dodgy staircase. Couldn't get the room door to open so asked at reception. The lady pulled the door towards her and then rammed her shoulder against it to open! You not strong she said 😂 The room we were told had been newly decorated so goodness knows what it was like before. The bed was comfortable, bathroom exceptionally basic. Toilet tucked back in a tiny alcove then the shower in front. No shower tray, it was like a wet room! Reception lady was very nice and helpful. Evening meal was in a conservatory type area. The waiter was very good and the meal was excellent. We never ate breakfast so cannot comment on that. The 2 stars are for the shabby dangerous staircase (no lift) worn out landing and warped door. Staff very nice.
