I stayed here this summer for10 days while on business travel (What - travel to France? It's a…read morerough gig!). One of the clear benefits to staying in an "American" style hotel is this: air conditioning. You forget that one of the nice things about the US is the abundance of air conditioning in the summer - and when it's humid outside, I promise, you'll love it even more. The staff here are really friendly and helpful. The day crew all had good English skills. The night crowd, less fluent, but sufficient for most things. By the way, if you choose to have your laundry done here, have Stephanie hook you up. I had a few really old tortilla soup stains on a otherwise white hoodie and she got all of those out. Next time I'm on travel and staying here, I'm bringing every piece of stained white laundry for treatment (I'm not joking.). The hotel is located very centrally to a ton of shops and restaurants (as well as the Bourges Cathedral - worth a stop). It was really easy for me to walk around and get groceries, buy gifts for family and friends, and get in a really big variety of food. I found myself loving the meandering on the weekends too. The biggest downside is that the hotel has very, very limited parking in the garage and getting a spot isn't easy. For the most part, we parked outside during the week and just made sure we took off before the meter times kicked in. On the weekends, they could squeeze us into the garage usually. Other downsides: they don't have a real restaurant for lunch of dinner (they do however, serve a breakfast buffet); no fitness center (though I heard they are putting one in); and if you bring large pieces of luggage, you won't fit in the elevator (tiny elevators though, might be another European thing). It is an older building, but it's clearly been updated. Expect character that usually comes with a boutique hotel. I personally loved the high ceilings in my room and the details on the trim. The bathroom was nicely updated. One tree hugging plus: they do the big bottles of shampoo so you aren't tossing out a bottle of shampoo each day. Overall, a nice place. I will definitely come back and stay here again. Oh yes, and they have free wifi!
