I stayed in room 122. This room, and those near it, shoud be avoided by any client needing internet access, because it seems to be in a Wi-Fi shadow. I complained to the hotel, who in turn complained to Orange. The woman at Orange seemed obsessed with the possibillity of my computer being at fault. After getting me to do checks, which I had done many times before, she instructed me to disable a service warning of bad connectivity. Predictably I still could not connect, at which point she told me that my computer was at fault and then the obnoxious woman slammed the phone down. Finding that something is wrong with a particular room, is very inconvenient, because changing rooms means having to pack and unpack again. Fortunately, there were plenty of vacant rooms that day. Since I was only there for 1 more day, the hotel allowed me to use a spare room, where connectivity was much better. However, I think this hotel needs to give some attention to its Wi-Fi system, and choose an ISP other than Orange. My only other complaint is the tinned sardines that are on the restaurant menu as an entrée. I expected sardines that had been prepared and seasoned by the kitchen. I did not explect a plate bearing a tin of sardines. I could buy these in the supermarket at 25% of the price, eat them in my room, and then go down to the restaurant for my 2nd course. I think some other Accor hotels have tinned sardines on the menu.
