Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
I booked this hotel with points to save 10 minutes sleep for an early Saturday’s morning train at Gare de Lyon, and I did not regret it.
I must say that I am even surprised to see this hotel under the Holiday Inn Brand, as it could be a more luxurious brand with no issue.
