The hotel is accessed via a lift, its a bit like Dr Who's Tardis. The area is a bit Commercial, one where you keep an watchful eye, but we had no troubles. The hotel is a bit strange with its layout, but once your in your room, its great, quite impressive.
We went to the Bleu Blume restaurant for a meal, very nice and reasonably priced, when we went to pay, they would not accept any of my English or French debit or credit cards, as none had EC on the back, so I had to walk all the way back to the hotel and pick up the car, then go and find an ATM machine to draw money out at the main station.
