This relatively small hotel is conveniently located on the D-940. Access by car is very easy, and there's a large public parking lot across the street. The hotel faces Boulogne Plage, a wide, sandy beach, and is a very short walk from Naussicaá, which bills itself as the largest aquarium in Europe. We found we could also walk into downtown Boulogne, as well as to the medieval walled city, although that was a bit of a hike and wouldn't be for everyone. Our room, as well as the common areas, were clean and modern. As with most European hotels, the rooms are a bit small by American standards, but we found ours to be entirely adequate to our needs. The staff were excellent - welcoming, friendly, and very helpful. My only downside was the Wifi service. It seems to be provided by a third party.

Read moreOur group of two Canadian couples decide to spend one night at this hotel, during our three week tour of France.||We were pleasantly surprised with our rooms, both of which had ocean views. The rooms were large, clean, with comfortable kingbeds and roomy washrooms. Although there were no A/C’s in the rooms, large windows facing the ocean could be opened, allowing cool air to flow in. Free WiFi was available; however, it was inconsistent on the 6th floor where our rooms were located. The following morning we were not able to pickup the free WiFi signal.||The breakfast buffet was excellent with a variety of hot and cold breakfast items.||Lots of parking across the street from the hotel, in the public parking lot.||We would certainly stay there again if we ever returned to...
