Hotel Britannique
Perfect location will return there for sure. They were so sweet! The girl at the front desk gave us the best recommendation for dinner. She made our experience there. I think she was new! We can not speak French well, and it did not matter. Loved this hotel!!!

Les Patios du Marais
Facility is clean, in good location but the rooms upstairs were so short which you cannot stand up. It would be difficult to get out if in case an emergency occurs. Otherwise it is a good stay.
