Première Classe Clermont Ferrand Nord

Ok

The bed was underneath the bottom sheet was disgusting black items on it and full of hair will never stop again

Very helpful person on reception, very friendly. Nice clean room. Good hot shower, perfect for our overnight stop while on the road south

As a cheap hotel, my expectation was rock bottom. I just wanted a bed in an air conditioned room. Somehow, they screwed it up! I arrived after a long drive to a sign apologising for the lack of a/c in French. I had to ask the receptionist if this referred to the rooms too. It did. On one of the hottest days. Wonderful! This alone was a pain and I was stuck without the room. Once getting to the room, the keycard stopped working almost immediately, which led to several frustrating trips to reception, after which we discovered that the door would open itself sometimes sans card. I had to hit the supermarket before it closed and got very annoyed by the constant issues. I eventually got a new room. Great! Except the fan wasn't working. There was only one socket in the whole room and the soap was empty. Okay, it was cheap, I can't expect....wait, what's that? A beetle infestation and the door also didn't lock? Not just a few beetles, but tens of them creeping through the door seals and getting everywhere. I even awoke in the night to find two on me! I also had to angle the bed against the door to stop it from being opened. The next morning, I mentioned the infestation - resigned to the fact that this was the worst hotel experience of my life - and I've stayed in cheap hotels in third world countries! The girl on reception presented a print out with a beetle and a cockroach and asked me which it was. Apparently they come out in the heat. Just not at other nearby hotels!

This is very definitely a budget hotel. Very cheap and very basic. The air conditioning unit didn't work, but the TV did. The beds were a little lumpy but the linen was clean. The toilet/shower pod was showing its age but was clean and everthing worked. It really was just a place to rest our heads on a long journey so it was as expected.
