Our first visit to France in almost 10 years and the stay in Laon was to break-up a longer journey. The check-in was quick and easy.
The room was quite basic but the thought of having an air-con unit was great until we realised that it needed some maintenance, as it was dripping water. By now it was late, so we simply placed a small bin under the main drip, which a bit noisy but didn't spoil our sleep.
The black-out blinds were brilliant and the shower was great, which is always important.
Continental breakfast was nice, with a good selection of breads, croissants, jams, meats and cheeses. There was also coffees and fresh fruit juices.
We didn't use the restaurant but it did look nice and there were a few people dining in there when we walked past it.
