Reception, Nicolas and colleages friendly, spoke fairly good english, but ok as I speak fluent french, Room dated but spotlesssly clean except for water stains in ceiling (under roof) corridors peeling wallpaper. Would have been acceptable but for the rudest frenchman I have met in 40 years of travelling in france on duty in the breakfast room. I actually went to reception for hot water for my tea. This guy was so rude when I complained about dirty tablecloths, lipstick on orange juice glass, tepid vacuum flask coffee. Location was good, but for fact had pre-paid for 3 nights would have left. When I complained at reception they said we know he's a problem, but impossible to sack antone in france.
