We drive from Versailles and got there after 10:30pm. GPS did not work properly and took awhile to find their parking. The parking code the hotel gave me did not work and I had to press a button to let us in. Their shuttle bus operates until 11:00pm and we barely made to the island. The hotel did not answer the calls for several hours, this place was barely lit, we could not find the hotel. They gave me instructions but no map to find this property to check in nor people at this late hour, we had extremely hard time finding the place carrying large luggage on stairs until an hotel employee finally answered my call around midnight. There are a lot of stairs up and down, the streets on the island was barely lit You could enjoy the dark sky, but the scrounging was too dark to walk around and piles of trash and cardboard boxes were everywhere. There were many vending machines but a few was actually working. Our room was tiny, no space to open our luggage. TV did not work at all. We had a tiny bathroom and the carpet was dirty from water stain and a tile in the bathroom was cracked halfway. I understand that maintaining this property is challenging because there is no elevator but the hotel is a kind of rundown than antique. We waked up because of seagulls, loud forklifts, voices of workers from the Main Street Breakfast was standard but understaffed and fries were everywhere. Our sightseeing to the Abby was undercut due to swamp of people.
