This hotel had some positives and one insurmountable negative. It is in an old building which is…read morevery nice because it lends a little more sophistication to the standard budget travel hotel decor. I booked a standard double room and was put in a lovely room overlooking the bridge and river with beautiful double doors and a Juliet balcony. Another plus was the service of all the hotel staff during our stay, everyone was great from check-in to check-out. Which brings me to breakfast; although a budget hotel the breakfast was fantastic: multiple cheese options, fresh fruit, croissant, many juices, ect. The only negative aspect to staying here was the location. It is an easy enough walk across the bridge to old town, and Bayonne is small so you can pretty much easily walk anywhere, but the neighborhood on the hotel's side of the bridge is a bit blighted and depressing. Also I did see a few unsavory characters hanging around the waterfront, but they did not seem to be bothering anyone. Parking is at the train station parking lot, for which you will need to stop at the hotel first and get the parking pass from reception. The parking garage was a bit old and dodgy looking, but our car was fine overnight (we did not leave anything in it). I would definitely recommend this hotel, but not its location. If I were to stay in Bayonne again I'd stay in old town.

Also the beds are pretty firm. The wifi is so slow you can't really use it at all, not even for only sending a quick message. But the breakfast is good.
