Best rooms
Rooms on the 2nd floor, facing away from the main road (likely the Rue de la Gare side). This floor avoids street-level noise and is accessible without heavy reliance on the lift.
Request a room on a higher floor (3rd or above) in the modern wing to minimize potential street noise from RN 12. While the hotel has on-site parking, the historic wing's stairs-only sections might be inconvenient for guests with mobility issues. Avoid rooms 101-200 if you're sensitive to stairs.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the 1st floor or above the main entrance/bar area. The first floor will catch traffic noise from the street, and any room above the bar can pick up music and chatter until late evening.
Rooms in the historic wing (101-200) may be less suitable for guests with mobility issues due to stairs-only access. Consider avoiding these rooms if you have mobility concerns.
