La Patricia has to rank as one of the worst places we have stayed in France. All told, there are few decent hotels in Grenoble, but any would have been better than this. The total "apartment" could not have been more than 30 meters sq. for 4 people. The kitchen was lacking. Guests are srsponsible for washing dishes, so most were dirty. The bathroom emitted a bad smell on first entering the room. We faced a courtyard(think of "Rear Window" the movie if you have seen it. I Could not open the window as huge gales of smoke entered. The beds were basically on the floor. At check in, no one was available at the front dest, and we had to wait simply to get in the building. There is no lobby. The area truly looked like a slum section of a fairly nice city. We found the people in the office rather rude.
