We booked L'Hostellerie des Pins for the first night of our vacation in Provence, as a cheap and convenient stopping off point. It turned out to be anything but.
Unfortunately when we arrived and checked the room, we immediately noticed a very strong smell of urine. We went back to reception, and waited for more than 10 minutes with several other people all waiting for a member of staff to reappear. When someone finally showed up, we complained and asked for an alternate room. The staff member shrugged, said they never had any complaints, they were full, and suggested we go elsewhere.
We ended up spending a couple of hours driving around Montelimar looking for alternatives, as the room smelt too disgusting to sleep in. We eventually checked into another hotel.
If you are looking for a hotel room that is clean and smells ok, don't stay at this hotel.
