Hôtel Première Classe Dreux

Hôtel, première classe Standard, sans déception pour cette nuitée

This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at even in comparison to some fairly dire motels in the US. We had booked a room for 3 which was a double plus a single bunk above. 1. Room was unbearably hot and cramped. Barely enough room to move around the bed. One small window which could only be opened slightly as it opens directly on the public walkway and if you left it wide open anyone could just stand and gaze at you lying in bed. There was something which looked like an air conditioning unit but did not work and it was so close to the bed that if it had it would have probably made the noise unbearable. It felt basically like a prison cell somewhere like Texas. 2. Room stank of stale cigarettes. Cigarette burns on the bedspreads and on the plastic bathroom sink. When we left all our clothes had a lingering stale smell from the room. 3. Shower so small it was virtually unusable. None of us could bear to shower in the morning. We wanted to get out. 4. Only one single power socket in a position that is unusable. 5. The bunk bed was so high and the ceiling so low it was incredibly claustrophobic to sleep there, particularly with the heat. 6. Noise. At around midnight someone in another room yelled at people talking outside to be quiet as they had work in the morning. 6. None of could face any breakfast we had paid for because… 6. Cockroaches. I stamped on two on the floor off the bedroom. It is cheap but not worth the money as you would definitely be best sleeping in your car.

Personnel agréable, petit déjeuner très correct avec de la baguette fraiche, établissement un peu vieillissant, mais au prix il ne faut pas être trop exigeant. Très bien pour une etape. Nous reviendrons à l occasion
