Trafalgar Hotel: Park and Suites (Lyon)

The Park and Suites hotel in Lyon was located in a business center and was about twenty minutes away from the Lyon Part Deux train station. While there was a large mall and fast food eateries near the train station, there wasn't really much to see or do or eat near the hotel itself. Even the hotel restaurant was closed for dinner during Misterpiggy's stay in Lyon.

The hotel room had a kitchenette and a sofa bed that could be used for additional sleeping.

A nice desk area. Wifi was supposed to work but didn't for Misterpiggy.

The room was very large and had another bed in a separate sleeping area.

The bathroom was good sized and modern.

The hotel was right next door to an office building hence the yucky view.  Also the window was broken and could not be closed.  Someone else on the tour also mentioned that their window was broken too.   Misterpiggy had to compensate by turning up the heat at night and closing the hanging doors that separated the sleeping area.  Misterpiggy hopes the hotel can fix all their broken windows.

Even though the hotel restaurant was closed for dinner, it was re-opened the following morning for a decent breakfast.

Trafalgar Hotel: Mercure Hotel (Avignon)

The Mercure was a nice little hotel right inside the walled town of Avignon.   Misterpiggy could walk to either the Pont d'Avignon or the Palais du Pape in about five minutes.  It was also very close to the many restaurants.  Here's Misterpiggy's post about his time in Avignon.

The room misterpiggy stayed in was a bit smaller but had a nice view of a garden in the courtyard below.

The bathroom was a good size but still had the glass divider which misterpiggy was not a huge fan of.

A good amount of storage and a working room safe.  Yay.  Sadly no wi-fi though.

Breakfast was very enjoyable with lots of pastry choices and hot and cold items.  Misterpiggy even sampled all of the meats and cheeses.  He really liked the bright and comfortable dining area.
