A room where you dread dropping something.
We had rented a Gite in a neighboring town, but when we arrived, it was a pretty nasty place, so we ended up booking this place, Hotel Ballidins, at the last minute out of necessity. We had a family of 4 plus a toddler and we booked the family room, which had an upstairs and downstairs, but the room is extremely close quarters. There is not much room to move around. The front desk staff was very pleasant and helpful with getting a mini-refrigerator moved into our room and with suggestions on places to visit. The breakfast was also nice, but I have to be honest here, the room is just not that nice. The room feels dingy and outdated, like the designer was depressed. It smelled like dirty feet when we walked in and you would often get that whiff again near the bed. The room is dark and the colors in the room don't help it any, as it was purple. The bathroom is cramped to the point that when you use the toilet, your knees are against the wall and your face is about 4 inches from the wall. The A/C barely worked, but not enough to make it comfortable. It was hot while we were there and the A/C cooled off the room some, but not enough. Tried opening the window at night, but no screens. There was noticeable wear and tear in the hallways/elevator too. One positive is that there is a supermarche right next door!

Unexpectedly good
I had never stayed in a Balladins before always thinking them to be too cheap but I was pleasantly surprised. The checkin staff were very helpful and obliging. The room comfortable and quiet. The only downside was no restaurant so we walked over to the nearby supermarket and ate in one of the on site eateries. Certainly changed my mind about this hotel chain. It was easy to find and had on site parking.
