Room was ready and clean when we arrived. We had a great corner room 2 floors above the Paul brasserie and across from the cathedral. The staff was helpful and pleasent. Tip: For parking, they suggested the paid parking lots, but we found cheaper by finding street parking where it is free on Sundays and is only enforced from 9 am to 7 pm Monday-Saturday. We arrived on Sunday and left at 10 am on a Monday, so we only had to pay for one hour for a couple of euros. The lots, on the other hand, are much more expensive: 1 hour: €3.40, 2 hours: €5.70, 3 hours: €6.90, 24 hours: €16.90 Tip: We were told many restaurants in the center of town were closed on Sundays, but the Paul brasserie downstairs was open late, reasonably priced and served good food.
