Stayed here for two nights to watch Paris-Roubaix. Event management and other official Paris-Roubaix groups were staying here, so we made the right decision. We got a killer rate of 62 euros per night. For the price and location for watching this race, it exceeded our expectations. This is basically like a Travelodge – not quite Hilton Garden Inn quality, but a clean, value stopover. You enter the rooms from the parking lot/side of the building, like a typical U.S. motel. No elevators that we could find, so if you have a lot of luggage, ask for the ground floor/zero. Room was tidy, tea service, desk with two chairs, pillows were decent. The big bonus – free WiFi!!! We slept well. Not too loud. An easy drive from here to stages 4 and 5 of the cobblestones at Paris-Roubaix. Check-in was a breeze, and the lady who runs the registration desk, bar and restaurant is very nice and an impressive multitasker. She speaks good English. My only advice: if you decide to eat in the restaurant, get the buffet. The food is good, and the cheeses and desserts are great. Don’t order the risotto off the menu. It was a ball of typical, bland steamed rice. Good wine list and prices. They were actually serving dinner on a Sunday night (rare in France), so we were thrilled to find anywhere to eat.
