Stay away from this disaster of a hotel; ancient furnishings, decor, and horrible location. Zero available parking within a kilometre of the hotel and they actually expect customers to park in a casino parkade and then walk to the hotel; maybe ok on a nice day; but I arrived after dark, with temperatures near 0 Celsius, and freezing rain falling. For an older age person; it is not acceptable to say park a kilometre away and walk in the dark and freezing rain while carrying heavy suitcases. The callousness and utter disregard of the hotel staff to demand this of their supposed “guests” is unacceptable and narcissistic of the staff and this hotel. Hotels cannot assume that all guests are young and fit, there was zero concern for the mobility and well being of guests with regard to parking.
The furnishings and decor are like a nightmare set in the 1700’s; also very noisy…elevator was old and worn, heard doors opening and closing all night in the hallways…no modern conveniences whatsoever…so no good rest and no relaxation at this hotel at all.
If your only choice is Hotel de France; do yourself a favour and instead choose to sleep in your car, a culvert, or find a local cave outside of town; you will be happier, better rested in the morning compared to staying at this hotel and dealing with their arrogant, disrespectful staff.
