Les Jardins du Mess

My booking was misplaced. So when I arrived there was little left in rooms. They made it sound like they were giving me an upgrade but it seemed more like a room they were avoiding using....as we found out later the internet did not work nor did the mini fridge...two things we wanted....hotels response..." ah yes others had told us the internet did not work...". I asked for some sort of compensation re the room price and was flatly refused. The hotel was nice....in that it had a lovely back yard....a nice little bar area...and we met a number of folks who like us were studying the Battle of Verdun. Both our grandfathers fought in WW1 in France. One died with TB a gift of life in the trenches....he was only 40 when he died....leaving behind 5 children. The beer was great in the bar...cold.....that was where we used the internet to check in for our next flight. I think the staff could have been nicer to us...especially knowing they had lost the reservation....fortunately I had all my documentation. We are both 75 and this was the first time using Expedia....mostly because I always felt you would not be treated as well as when you booked through the hotel itself....this seemed to be a correct assessment.

Great location right on the river. We had a junior suite which was ver spacious, bathroom was huge with both a large tub and separate walk through shower and it’s own vanity with mirrors and a chair. The bed was a comfortable king. Our balcony looked out on the river.
