Sure Hotel by Best Western Saint-Amand-Les-Eaux

Breakfast was good with enough to eat each morning. Menu can use a bit of variation.

No blankets in the room.

Its location was perfect for me with a restaurant next door

Basic

Room was clean and compact, bed was comfortable and there were tea, coffee and complimentary water. Shower was a bit tight (I'm a big bloke) The hotel has secure parking with locked gates at night (great for bikers). Definitely stay again.

I didn't think much of breakfast choice comparing to some hotels that are similar in France but there was enough to start the day with a couple of croissants and a yoghurt. Maybe they had run out of a few things as we came down at 9am and I think it finished at 09:30 (trying to be fair)

The fact that we had the family room and it was with an additional connecting room with twin beds. A bottle of water in the room. Beds comfortable, the water flow in the shower was fine. The temperature, we had to put the heating up and I don't think this worked, but it might have been me not noticing the temperature going up.

There was a guest heavily smoking in our floor, about 4 doors down, it was stinking the whole hallway. The internet is non-existent and we had to go down to tell the receptions, who wouldn't understand us. She "said" she wrote to the IT person and we could wait in the room. Evidently, as someone that works in IT I could tell that the router is not near the rooms on the first floor so the connection was with only one little line and this was not always visible and it would drop. We heavily relied on internet as a family of 4, and I actually check this for every location. Being this so terrible of a service, I wouldn't have chosen it if any review would have made it clear. The lady in the reception was not helpful either, I know we were in France but usually hotel staff has to be trained in more than one language, at least English, and she didn't really speak it. The breakfast was extremely limited, only few things, scrambled eggs, a tiny tray with bacon, some yogurts, some fruit, croissants and a few more bits but for the price I guess I can't expect more. I believe nobody stayed in our room for some time as when I started showering a long legged spider started coming down inside the shower next to the soap dispenser.
