The hotel is old and due for a renovation. The carpets are dirty/worn out. A/C units in the bedrooms would be welcome in the hot summer months. Only one product (shampoo/body wash combo) was offered in the bathroom. Conditioner & body lotion is always appreciated. Breakfast was a good buffet. The onsite restaurant was closed but there are plenty of good choices a short walk away on the Place Des Heroes.
