2-Star Hotels in Chalons en Champagne

This hotel is easy to find off the N44. We have stayed in numerous B&B hotels throughout France but thought this to be the best. The 2 ladies who run the hotel were really good and also spoke good English thus rendering my average french redundant. Good enclosed car park. Excellent value breakfast. Clean and comfortable bedroom. The only B&B I have visited that has a bar! The only down side was lack of decent restaurants in walking distance.

Positives… ….man in the bar was nice enough ….lady at check out was friendly enough ….it’s champagne was Joseph Perrier That’s about it. Hotel was freezing all over. Properly freezing. I guess in summer that won’t matter. Room was…hmmm, average with a nice square view. But freezing. Did I tell you that? I turned the air con/heating on and noticed the last person had it on at 27C. The reason being, it didn’t work. Eventually i went to reception. She looked displeased. I said you are welcome to come and show me where I am going wrong. So, to be fair, she came to the room and proceeded to jab at buttons. She said it was fine and set it at 27C. It wasn’t blowing air. She said the room was at 27. I stated, no, more like 7. She said she would move us but all the rooms worked the same. So we stayed. I got up at 2am to go to the loo. My age you see. I couldn’t find my already small manhood because the cold had shrunk it even more! By 8am, the icicles had just about melted in the room. The worst thing though was having to shower the following morning and realising the towel was still soaking and freezing from the previous night. I would have thought a room at 27C would have dried and warned that. Stay again? No. Nein. Non. I nearly forgot to mention…the room has a safe. Obviously then are secured and tied down. Noooooo. I nearly took it for a walk for fun and put it in the bar. Ridiculous.
