We weren't in our hotel room for too long; just overnight. We had taken the train from Paris, in the aft., so by the time we got settled in our room, it was later pm. The room was clean and comfortable. We were tired from walking/pulling luggage from the train station, and then, when we went to go into our room, they hydro wasn't working, and then we noticed the hall lights weren't working either. The front desk staff member came up, checked things in the room like we did, no go, then he went and got keys for another room to take us to, to stay in. Hall lights all of a sudden came on, when he came up, but at other room, lights didn't work also. Weird, he thought. Then hubby realized, it might be like cruise ships, where you have to use key card, to input into a wall slot, to make hydro come on! When one goes to leave their room, once the card is extracted from slot in wall, the hydro goes off. It's an eco thing, to save people leaving any hydro on, like lights, as they have the key card with them when they leave, to get back into room. The front desk fellow, didn't know anything about this, never heard of such a thing, as he was a new employee!! Whomever trained him...bad!! So hall lights worked, as soon as someone goes into the hall. We hadn't stepped out of our room, to check hallway. Re. the breakfast room, it was lovely. The ambience was nice, with tables with white table cloths, and nice china settings. There was enough choice of food and drinks, and hubby even tried the champagne! We had been a bit afraid, the night before in the dark, pulling all our luggage to the hotel, with some weirdos around!
