I've given a 2star hotel 4 !
It deserves it.
Clean, friendly, lovely breakfasts and they let you practise your 30 year old school French on them!
It's a short walk to the old town and the helpful and knowledgable staff can tell you where/how/what to go and see.
THe town itself is full of hidden alleys and corners, tempting you to diverge off your chosen path and even (it seems) deliberately taking you somewhere else! Fortunately it's a manageable town centre and you always end up somewhere you recognise!
A couple of fab markets too which we used for lunch things.
Downsides? None for the hotel - it's lovely except it would be nice to have an evening meal there.
For the town - its expensive for coffee! And wine!! And don't bother with the walking tour. We had to give up as the guide was horrible and didn't follow the procedure of letting us know where on the map we were. She only had to say numbers in French; I wasn't expecting any special treatment but she made it perfectly clear that she didn't want 'foreigners' there!
