Find the Cheap Montussan Hotels

After an overnight flight to Bordeaux, we did not want to drive on to our destination several hours away and decided to stay overnight at a hotel not too far from the airport, and on the way to our destination in the Dordogne. Chateau La Moune was a brilliant find, located just across the Pont Aquitaine, and close to the A 89. François, the manager, was so very accommodating and friendly. He even drove these two tired travelers to a nearby restaurant and returned to pick us up. He went out of his way to make our brief visit memorable. We had the chambre Nuptiale – a large, beautifully furnished room on the ground floor – the king-sized bed was a dream. His breakfast was wonderful. We could have had anything we wanted, but we chose to have tea and croissants – served with lovely jams, sweet local strawberries and other fruits. AND a piece of his over-the-top delicious orange cake – for which he offered the recipe – an offer that was gratefully accepted. Chateau La Moune has become our go-to overnight stop when we land at Bordeaux Airport.

Hotel is very modern, located in middle of industrial estate. Staff are very friendly and helpful but language difficulties exist if you dont speak French. Hotel is best suited to travellers with cars. If you don't have a car, accessing anywhere is difficult. There is very little in immediate vicinity and public transport involves a short walk for bus and a 30 minute walk for train. Both are fairly infrequent. Hotel staff were unable to provide guidance on this. Overall view is that hotel is probably ideal if you're driving and looking for somewhere to rest enroute. It's clean and breakfast is ok, albeit basic. But if you're looking for a base to visit Bordeaux, look for something closer to the city.

The hotel is located in the north of the city, just outside the periphery, ideal location for peaceful and green. The rooms are very clean. The staff is very professional and sympathetic. Rigolo, game from 421 to the home. I let you discover it. I recommend

Perhaps it was because we came in winter, but this hotel did not live up to previous reviews. It was very much a mixed bag across the board. I've rounded down the stars as I'd give this 2.5 if I could, as it's definitely not a 3 star place currently. The Good - Comfy bed, nice linen - Comfort in the room in general - Cleanliness - Eco friendly large bottles of good quality soap shampoo etc - Location for leaving the city for day trips The average - General location - this will be off-putting for some people as it's in housing estates (and not affluent ones), it's about a 16min walk to the tram station, and very narrow roads driving in making it hard to get to (cars parked all along the sides) - Road noise - constant but only an issue if you open the window which we needed to as the room was very warm and air con wasn't cold, tho not surprising as it's winter (I expect it wasn't turned on) - Parking - in a caged/ gated section, wouldn't like to be here at a peak time as it was almost full the two nights we stayed The bad - Breakfast - very disappointing, not much choice at all, no effort put into it, no hot foods. Photos online definitely don't represent what's on offer at least at this time. - In room TV - while a nice TV, no movie channel and no way to connect an external device or log into any of your own services - WiFi - did not work the entire time we were there (this was not the individual hotel's fault but that of IHG and really for such a huge chain inexcusable) - Staff morale - while everyone was friendly, no one did more than was expected to the point that when asking about finding a particular regional dish in the city, we were told ”I have no idea, just ring some of the restaurants” Bordeaux is a lovely city, as is the region as a whole. I can't recommend this hotel unless you need to be in that area particularly or are only passing through for a night. I've stayed in Holiday Inns before and while cosmetically this is one of the newest/ nicest, it left a bitter taste in the mouth. We've been staying in lots of hotels in France so far, and this has been the worst experience, for example the following night at a very old and cheap chain hotel in Biarritz next to the airport, we had an incredible breakfast, zero noise with the window open, and wonderful and helpful service (despite France losing the final).

Excellent hotel. Everything new. Comfortable bed and mattress. Nice decoration. Bathroom was five stars. Free parking and secure. Staff very friendly and helpful. Didn't have breakfast so I can't tell if it's good. The best hotel I've stayed near the motorway and at a good price
