A 'decent' hotel in a great area. For the reasonably low price, I wasn't expecting much, and that's exactly what we got. The room was clean and quiet. The breakfast was quite good too. A number of very small disappointments: No bottle opener in room; accidentally charged too much; wasn't given All points because didn't book with the app; Accor's famous honeycomb was covered in a way that made it difficult to access; coffee machine not functioning.
Not bad at all, but not great. Worth the price!
