Hotel Le Deville

Continental breakfast was nice and well maintained. Hardworking staff was friendly and offered help often. My particular room was much smaller than all the others I glimpsed, but still big enough for just me. Every room appeared to be newly renovated, with a nice shower stall. Room temperature was well regulated to half a degree. Noise level was low. Location is excellent and extremely walkable. Huge music store across the street, abundant restaurants and shops. WiFi worked well all over the property, and for all six days never required me to sign in again :)

There is no elevator. There are no rooms at street level, just a very long stairway to the reception desk on the second floor. The rooms on the third floor are another fairly long stairway above -- and the breakfast room is there too. There is no dedicated unloading area, so use the one for the large hotel next door, but that's often full. Parking was a huge hassle. The NEARER and more expensive lot is about two blocks away, and staff gave me an incomplete daily code for the first day, so I could not get in with my car or then get to my parked car, but had to call the lot operator several different times to get door opened. After that day it got a bit better. (Did not use the lot that was farther and cheaper.) NOTE: The lot operator does not charge tax if you pay him in cash -- recommended. TV was nearly useless because it did not have cable, just a small number of broadcast stations via an antenna. Staff said they might upgrade the service eventually.
