What might have been. The unrealised potential is quite stag Voir la suite de l’avisgering. A duplex room with plenty of space but nothing much in terms of facilities. A sofa downstairs meant somewhere to sit and relax...but no TV. Sit on the sofa and stare at a large, blank wall. Where was the TV? Upstairs in the 'bedroom' so watching TV was only possible from the bed.
There were no tea or coffee making facilities which, in fairness we had not realised when making the booking. But there was plenty of space downstairs with sockets etc readily available. Cheekily we asked for a kettle and got one - go figure!
No fridge but, again, plenty of space (under the area for tea/coffee facilties) with available power too. Funny that there also seemed to be a coaxial connection there for a TV as well. There were also only two absolutely miniscule glasses to use for a drink...and the WiFi was woeful.
Finally there was also a shockingly bad wall mounted hairdryer that my wife decided could only be used for drying a bald head. Again, we asked for a proper hairdryer and got one. Why aren't these facilities already in the room?
Positives were the space, albeit unrealised. The air con, which was welcome. And the small outside table with chairs (if only we had had a fridge to store a cold drink or two)!
The bed was comfortable but needed a second pillow - there was what looked like a sofa back cushion on the bed that was too firm to use for sleep but I assume was there for support when watching TV in bed!
Good location for Beaune with a short walk to the centre and secure parking were reasons for our initial choice and both met the mark. The staff were, in the main, helpful and courteous although our request for an ice bucket for cooling drinks fell on dear ears.
But would I go back?
