hotelF1 Saint-Dié-des-Vosges

It's quiet around here, so I slept well, and the people were nice. Leclerc supermarket is about a 5 minute walk, just around the corner. The hotel is cheap and you can check yourself in if you arrive late. The big downside is there's no breakfast and no shower towel.

Clean room, but there was no breakfast, and you'll need to bring your own towel to shower. It's a basic, cheap F1 hotel, so that much is to be expected. The self check-in machine wasn't working properly because it had no paper in the printer, so I had to take a picture of the access code.

This was like paying to visit an urban explorer's site. I've never slept anywhere so awful. The place is in an abandoned industrial area, and almost everything I saw or touched was broken. It should have been demolished years ago. Even an elderly home would be more comfortable and cozy. The bed and other furniture were dirty and broken, and the room and the whole hotel smelled strongly of mold. The price is low, but I still expected somewhere clean to sleep. Their website talks about refurbished rooms, but I think it was made 25y ago. It also promises “unlimited breakfast,” though they don't serve breakfast anymore. The Accor slogan about being a guest star is quite a joke here. If a health inspection passed this place, they'd close it immediately! The receptionist deserves the only 5 stars in this review for being willing to work in these conditions. Don't waste your time or money here. Trying to make quick money, like everywhere in France. 🤮🤮🤮

For the price, it's hard to expect much, but the place could be cleaner. The rooms are small and very minimal. Showers and toilets are shared, so wear shoes unless you want that strange carpet feeling.
