Hôtel Le Saint-Paul
"Everyone who worked the front desk was very helpful and friendly. Room was pretty clean, floor not too clean. Had to wait til late afternoon for room to be cleaned, which was frustrating. One tile on bathroom floor was raised higher than others, so kinda dangerous to walk across."
