Hotel Best Western Plus a Beaune

Arrived Monday 15 May for one night’s stay. Good welcome at reception, spacious car park. Hotel in central location, walk to all the Town’s attractions. Very reasonable price – very tatty inside. Room spacious, carpet stained. Building work in progress everywhere around the hotel. Surprised no mention of Building work on ***********. Car park - areas piled with builders’ materials and discarded furniture. We weren’t alarmed, because the builders stop work at the end of the day. Fire doors in the hotel slam shut (automatically – as you let them go). So we were awoken by other guests coming in later and inadvertently slamming the doors. Taking a shower – the head ‘fell’ off the wall onto my husband while showering! At 6.00am (YES 6.00am)! the builders began their day – driving a loud forklift truck through a passage to deliver more materials, going back and forth with more and more loads. Frequent noisy manouvering of the vehicle, plus the annoying beeping of the reversing warning. We were woken up. What are the hotel owners thinking? 8.00am would be an entirely UNreasonable time for the builders to start banging around. 6.00am is ridiculous. I put on my clothes at 6.15 and went to reception to complain. The young guy on night duty was kind and received the complaint well. Gave us a complimentary breakfast. Breakfast – just about ok. Not great. Nice to have fresh fruit cut up. I was glad we weren't paying for it. WIFI On arrival you are given the WiFi password etc …. With a note explaining that the portal is closed between 22h30 and 6h. “Le portail est ferme de 22h30 a 6h”. So don’t bother wanting WiFi late in the evening or during the night! Travellers – don’t stay here. Whatever the price, you won’t get a good night’s sleep unless they solve those banging interior doors and take control of their building contractors. A miserable experience.
