Visited mid November 2025. Cozy and quiet hotel located on the north east side of Lyons and is in the city center. Many restaurants located in the same area. Restaurant at the hotel was good but pricy. I recommend exploring other restaurants downstairs, and there are many. The Italian restaurant was very good and price resonable. There is even a casino and a theatre. Close to the bus stop if you want to take public transportation. I recommend not driving around the city, and take Uber or public transportation. Most of the main tourist sites are about 20 to 30 minutes away and too far to walk. Service was good, but have to mention that they did not take out the trash, and forgot about replacing the towels. They do have parking at the hotel at 25 Euros per day.
