Two nights in Lourdes, France...
Our friend booked this hotel for us - maybe because of the complimentary breakfast. I liked the toaster to make your own toast! The orange juice was great! Croissants were much appreciated!
Free street parking and parking lot was within walking distance.
Rooms were compact and clean. There was only one packet of shower gel on the sink, so I asked for more at the reception desk and found more shower gel in our bathroom after dinner!
Thank you!
We also found fresh towels in our room in the afternoon and our used towels were taken away.
The stairs were a challenge as we were on the third floor. There is an older style lift that you can enter between floors, so you need to drag luggage up half a floor and pull the luggage down half a floor.
This hotel is situated near many shops and restaurants. However, it's almost furthest away from the Grotto and Basilica. For me, walking a mile to and from each way - three times a day wasn't fun.
For example, yesterday, we walked over for the bath, returned for breakfast, walked back for sightseeing, then returned to the hotel for lunch, and went back for adoration, followed by 6pm mass, and finally walked back again to the hotel for dinner. (Three round trips)
I didn't want to walk back for the candle light procession since we did that the night before.
I would maybe get a closer hotel,
but then the car would be further away.
Hmmm...
but we didn't need the car until we left because we walked everyday. read more
