Apparently, my request for the room when booking on the Accord website was not even read (I basically got the opposite of what I had wanted: neither the side, nor the floor, and no response).3rd bed on a very uncomfortable convertible sofa, due to the design of the sofas (two different densities on the seat and on the back), and especially without a headboard (so the pillow tends to fall).Queue at breakfast: unworthy of a 4 star. Little choice, including a choice of bread, Pancake machine broken, orange juice fountain regularly empty, queues for each station (and obviously lack of space): we are more in an Ibis than a Novotel.But above all hygiene can be VERY improved in the breakfast room: the same people remove the dirty ones and then bring the clean dishes without washing their hands, after having summarily wiped a "mop" making the crumbs fall on the ground, and, with the same cloth, cleaned the seats of future customers... (Do not come with white pants).Unworthy of a Novotel.

We visited the Novotel for a short trip with an adult and two children. The first impression was good. We were warmly welcomed. In general, we noticed that the guests' concerns were taken seriously and were taken care of. The room was fine and enough to stay overnight. The breakfast was sufficient and tasty. However, whether I would pay that much for it again remains to be seen. Basically we would come back again.
