My wife and I stayed there for a night sometime on june 2015. While the exteriors of the hotel need a lot of improvement, we were impressed on the room and the en suite bathroom which was decently upgraded.Except for the distance from the Sanctuary, this hotel has an excellent value for your money.If you don't mind the daily commute to the sanctuary, there is a bus that shuttles there every few minutes too. And if you have to catch an early train back to Paris, Gare Lourdes is just a few steps away.
