O.k. Now I get it. After the initial shock of the area, people, traffic, parking situation at the train terminal, I now realize why so many people have this place a high rating. The first day, we could not get the driving in this area. Some streets are one way, most are two way. But this hotel has only one way to get to it. Thru the tunnel. You'll understand if your driving. Parking is quite an adventure. I hope you don't have a van or bus. We walked back to the hotel from the train station. It looked worst than it was but no problems at all. I was told by a local in the street to be cautious of pick pockets and don't leave you phone, not even for a minute, unattended.It will disappear. Walla! Next, we walked to downtown for dinner. Scary but as before, no problems. Found some nice restaurant's that the front desk recommended. Really nice food. Day 2 was better but parking again was an adventure. If you have a van or bus, stay left upon exit. You will dent your roof on the things hanging down on the right. In all, this hotel is pretty centrally located and is super quiet. Sound proof Windows are awesome. I also rate it a 5 star. P.s. Like everything in France, rooms are small but manageable. Have a nice stay. read more
