La Route des Vins

The receptionist was extremely unwelcoming. First she told me there were rooms available, then said there weren't, even though the motel looked empty. And to my delight, guess who happened to be the waitress and barmaid?

The service from Nathalie and Rodolphe was perfect, and our room was really comfortable. We'd recommend this hotel for a night on the way to Lyon or for exploring the river Saone and the surrounding area.

The location is handy for a stop in Belleville, right opposite the train station. I was only here after leaving another hotel because its Wi-Fi was poor, and the internet here was very good. The owner even let me try it before I decided whether to pay for the room. He put me in room no. 1, downstairs with rooms 2 and 3, where you can park right outside the door. My car was full, so I appreciated his reassurance. The room was a bit dated, but €70 felt reasonable. The bed was comfortable, though the shower was tiny, and I think the electrical outlets should be replaced. It was Wednesday, their day off, but I could still have breakfast brought to my room for €10. In the morning the owner offered me a coffee on the house, which was really nice of him.
