Hotel Club Maintenon

Spacious room with a balcony; huge comfy bed; thick towels, nice toiletries, helpful personnel, delicious sausages at breakfast, a parking space (was worth the 15 € as parking on the street is difficult but I suggest you get there early as you can't reserve a space)!), right in Cannes centre

Difficult to find (in our case!); as others say, the room looks a little "worn down"; the courtesy tray had only two Lipton tea bags with no milk pods so Brits who like a good cup of tea, bring your own tea bags and milk "dosettes" but there are real mugs!

Like,the aura of Cannes and area

Nothing that I don't like

Location, location, location and price! Being able to walk to the Palais des Festivals and most everything else in 8-10 minutes was perfect. If we got tired we could just pop back to the hotel to relax on our sunny balcony. The room was huge (35m2) and very comfortably furnished with two arm chairs, a table and 2 straight chairs, a desk and king size bed as well as an under counter refrigerator in what used to be a kitchenette. Huge selection for breakfast on the rooftop breakfast room. Great two level secure parking garage. Quiet location. Just half a block from the police station. Even though you must cross a busy intersection we always felt safe. We were on the third floor and had a little view through buildings to the marina. They have three elevators so you do not need to carry luggage up the front steps if you are parked in the garage. Wine glasses provided.

The room and corridor was always too hot; it was impossible to set the heating lower than 20.5 which is too hot for sleeping in our opinion. We ended up taking the duvet out of its cover, opening the sliding glass door and lowering the metal shade so that we could get some fresh air. Yes, the room decor is in need of updating; the carpet was stained; the toilet was too low with a flimsy plastic seat and the bidet had paint flaking off the bowl. They have beautifully remodelled the lobby and rooftop restaurant and bar but the restaurant is only open for breakfast; the handsome rooftop bar seems to never be open even on the New Years Eve holiday! There is a kettle in the room but the coffee and tea supplies were minimal with no milk. We ended up getting some milk at breakfast to keep in the fridge for our morning cup of coffee. We think that all hotels should stop supplying single use flimsy plastic cups; I can wash my glass!
