My room was clean and bed was so comfy, great shower. The bus was round the corner and down the road there was the tram and a shopping centre. The staff were a standout.

The location isn't the best, although there's a metro station nearby that takes you to the center of Lyon. When I arrived, the parking garage door was broken, and I had to leave my car on the street for the first night. The staff wasn't very professional.
