Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I had a bad experience at this hotel with noise and cleanliness; to their credit, the staff made it right by letting me out of 3 of the 4 nights I had prepaid, so kudos to them. Still, it wasn't what I expected from their marketing material. It was more of a motor lodge in character. Also, the area is probably fine if you're there for the convention center, but access to any other part of the city requires a stroll from Part Dieu, the train station - sketchy at best.

My wife and I went for 2 nights and had an excellent experience. The staff were very kind and helpful. The room was clean and very comfortable bed. It was minutes away from the train station Lyon Perrache, 10 min from the confluence and 40min walk to Old Lyon. Would definitely recommend.
