Radisson Hotel Clermont Ferrand

Everything as expected, positively, which counts for a lot when you’re scouring more economic choices. Clean room and friendly staff. Breakfast has a good choice, reasonable enough for 20 bucks. Underground parking is extra for guests (why I don’t know as it was pretty empty). Bit of a Fawlty Towers style lift (hiccups to a stop) and stairs are good exercise anyway.

Very beautiful hotel, recently renovated; nice interior. The room was not so big but big enough. One downside is that it was extremely hot on our bedroom, had to sleep with the window open with all the noise from the city madness. 🙈 Breakfast is a bit expensive (18 euro pp) but it was very good and a lot of options.

Denied service at early hours of the morning. "We are closed" and locked the outside doors. Meanwhile, cars pulled up on the *sidewalk* and women entered the same locked doors to go with the laughing receptionist. Asked about room pricing, because the screens moved too fast. "Go online and leave, i am calling the cops." I waited for the cops to arrive, for 1 hour. No cops arrived. There is an INTERNATIONAL EVENT and yet, international customer is denied service. While the receptionist laughs behind the locked automatic entrance door. Sign says 24h bar, yet the receptionist says the entire hotel is closed. Says the price is 200€ before asking which room i want. Or which DATE i want. All prices 200€ with no breakfast included. The sign does not reflect this. Great appearance. Digital screens move too fast too translate. Front desk service is worst of all hotels across Europe.
