We arrived very early for our stay after an exhausting overnight plane trip and subsequent car ride. We were accommodated (almost) immediately. Seeing that we had a lot of luggage, we were "upgraded" to a larger room at no additional cost. We slept gratefully for most of the rest of the day. We enjoyed the spacious room, recently renovated and attractively decorated. The (large) bath was very nice, convenient and up-to-date. The hotel is near the riverfront which is very attractive with recently added paving, lights, plantings and amenities to make for a pleasant stroll. An added plus is the proximity to the outstanding restaurant la Madeleine, an easy walk across the bridge to the island in the Yonne.
