“Comfortable, but not worth the price”
Having spent most of our stay in Montpellier in a cramped room with no air conditioning, my wife and I decided to fork up the extra $ to spend our last night at the Holiday Inn. The room was in fact very cool and comfortable, and the outdoor pool was decent. Had the staff been friendly and the internet been free, I may have felt that paying 3 times the cost of our hotel across the street was justified. Unfortunately, the staff was quite rude and the internet was a total rip-off (I paid 8.60 euro for 30 minutes on a very slow connection). I'll never understand why it's the expensive hotels that charge extra for things that are included at cheap hotels like internet and premium channels. Bottom line is that I'd only recommend this hotel if someone else is paying your bills.
Quartiers recommandés
The Place de la Comidie is full of kiosks, street vendors, and entertainment day and night during the summer. The wine festival there was great!
For a day trip I recommend the beach Maguelone. We rented bikes in town for 2 euros each and rode to the beach. It's about 10 miles each way. If you're lazy, I'm told you can also rent electric bikes.
