Sure Hotel by Best Western Port Jérome - Le Havre

We booked this hotel because our reservation in Le Havre was suddenly cancelled due to overbooking and there were no other reasonable choices left. It is surely a clean and very basic hotel but in a worst possible location - next to ExxonMobil chemical plant. Not only we got a room overlooking this industrial monster, we could feel its close presence by continuous humming noise from burning exhaust gases and that specific smell... But what really left us with deep feeling of regret was the the attitude of the hotel staff. Breakfast hours were quite early and since our kids were still sleeping we thought we could bring some food to our room, especially as it was paid for. But two staff members jumped out like goalkeepers blocking our way, waving fingers and shouting "no", "back" in front of everyone. Although rude and funny at the same time, we calmly accepted the fact that apparently there is such a rule in this hotel, woke up our kids and brought them to the breakfast room so that they could eat there. And yet, while we were finishing our breakfast, another couple came and the same staff members helpfully allowed them to take to their room as much food as they could carry...
