This may be the only hotel in town. Maybe not but most certainly the largest one in town. If you choose to visit Clamecy, Burgundy, this is the spot. The internet is non existent, you must bring your own internet for France. You can get it easily with SIM card at local Orange. There is no AC, so expect it to get hot in the summer. The room is super small but it opens to the town square which is superbly lovely in the evening. Don't expect much out of this very French hotel, but do feel that you are part of the locals when you enter and exit the hotel and drop off your keys to the room at the front counter. To the left of the stairs is a nice restaurant, at which you can get the traditional prix fixe meal for very little money. It's also incredibly convenient as it's in the town square. A few places down you can get your charcuterie for the day. There is a very small but functional city Carefour down the street, which you could load up on the picnic items. I get the coffee by a cafe across the street. It's very convenient and not too expensive. There is a very cool coffee shop next the bridge down the street, and every summer there is a frog cook out. Yes, you heard me right, frog cook out! It's not for your typical American tourists but if you want to see Burgundy, this town is good as any and this is hotel is as good as it gets for a town of 3000 people. Plus you can vsit me there. I often go to the city Carefour and buy a bottle of Beaune wine, which is a fraction of what you'd pay here in San Francisco, and yes the hotel does provide you with a complimentary cork screw to open your bottle with, for that I have decided to upgrade the rating from 3 to a 4. Not to mention, you cannot get better local terrine and cheese than what the restaurant has to offer. It's a short walk to the local cathedral, which is a sight in and of itself. Walking up the hill is better than riding your bicycles. There is a train station nearby as well, across the canal, from Clamecy to Paris Gare Lyon or Paris Bercy, train departs multiple times a day. All within walking distance from the hotel. Of course if you have a car do drive up to Vazelay Abbey which is a world heritage site, absolutely not to be missed. My favorite thing to do is to chill in the room after it's dark. After walking around town's cobble stone paths, I lean out to the balcony and look down to the square and look out to the canal. It's quiet and peaceful, It's where you want to be. read more
