"The hotel was central in Valence, convenient for the station, and there were plenty of restaurants and shops in the vicinity. The owner was friendly and welcoming. However, our room was pokey and very poorly decorated (a stained carpet and very dirty walls). The shower was OK, but the screen was damaged and repaired with a piece of plastic sellotaped on, and the place just felt tired and run down. Breakfast was OK, but the coffee was stewed. We won't be back."
