We stayed two nights in October. There is no elevator and we had five large, heavy bags which we lugged up two long and narrow flights of stairs to the very top of the hotel by ourselves with no offer of assistance from the otherwise friendly front desk. We inquired about a room lower down, but they were full. So if you have a lot of luggage and are no longer 25, plan ahead and request a ground floor room.
The room itself was small (typical of a French hotel) but reasonably furnished. Beams running hither and yon through the room signaled that the top floor rooms facing the street were added some time after the building was constructed. We did not hear noise from the street, but I can imagine that on some nights if you faced the street, you might.
The decor of the public areas is simple and plain - not bad, maintained fine, just no pretense to fanciness in any way. The interior lighting is a bit subdued by American standards, so in the evenings the lobby felt a little somber and old. But the staff was friendly and we were not unhappy. There's just nothing memorable about it. The exterior photo you see on the web makes the outside look more charming than you may find the inside to be. Since we chose the hotel for its relatively inexpensive price, we have no complaints.
We did not take the breakfast, but bought a croissant next door, which was fine. The location is quite good, as there is plentiful parking in front and in back, and several excellent restaurants within a five minute walk. The center of the city is less than ten minutes away as well.
