Fontainebleau Familienhotels

"The hotel is right downtown on the edge of the pedestrian zone and close to the castle. This also means you have to park in the street or in the public underground garage across the street and you hit quite some traffic going out early. The room was generous and clean, the bed was comfortable. The window did not isolate well, and the room was uncomfortably cold on arrival and turning the heat up to 21° meant a noisy fan blowing. The bathroom had only a narrow towel rack and a single large knob near the shower that was too large to thread through the loop in the towel. So for all that reuse your towels, two towels simply glid to the floor from that large, slippery know. There was also not a single electrical outlet, and very few in the room which were all in use and near the floor. Combine that with the short and stiff cable of the hair dryer, and I ended up blow drying in a dark corner with no mirror and nearly kneeling. Breakfast was nice if a little pricey. Breakfast staff were very friendly. I would have wished for a little variety, the selection was exactly the same all three mornings, with the same undercooked scrambled eggs, disappointingly standard bland cheese and lack of black tea other than Darjeeling. The biggest caveat for a hotel that caters to business travel though was the cancellation deadline of 5 days prior to arrival. A shorter deadline wasn't available even at a higher rate, and several of our party got caught by that. I would not use it again."
