This review needs the context that we visited Chalon-sur-Soane on a road-trip using budget hotels - consequently, my expectations were calibrated at a certain level.
Our stay here was OK. No one died and we didn't lose any property. The hotel however is next to two tower blocks and in an area with lots of kids/youths hanging around.
The room was "functional" in its most absolute sense. I've spent enough nights in MOD accommodation to know where the line between functional and institutional is and this was possibly over the border into institutional - puce coloured concrete walls with a bed, a chair and a TV. To be fair, the TV was pretty new.
The breakfast was surprisingly good though but I wouldn't stay here again.
