Poster: A snowHead
|
Evening all, looking for a cheap but half decent motel to stop over somewhere between Troyes and Dijon on Wednesday 9th January. Presumably it’s a fairly common thing to do on the drive down to the Alps? Thanks!

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

On reflection we’ll be wanting to stay closer to Troyes rather than Dijon.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

le val moret 3-Star motel, 5 mins off the A5 at Jct.22, south of Troyes with an indoor swimming pool and secure parking outside the rooms: https://www.le-val-moret.com/en/ I'd recommend one of the balcony rooms if they suit you.

B&B Troyes, 3 km off the motorway, next to Le Clerc for cheap fuel. About €50 for a double with breakfast.
Stopped at Val Moret, more expensive but good if you want more than a bed. It was the Andouilette festival when I stayed, now that is an acquired taste!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks guys! Think one of those will be perfect. The B&B looks ideal.

We stayed at La Fralinette https://goo.gl/6S8vhs , which is 5km down the road from Le Val Moret. It was £58 for a double room including breakfast. It was fairly simple but we thought that it was very good value and the owner, Stephane, was very helpful. They have secure parking away from the road. As they don't serve dinner, we drove back to Le Val Moret and had a very good meal.

We always stay in the Campanile south of Troyes as it’s just of the route and easy to skip back on in the morning. Cheap, handy and clean. We never bother with the breakfast, not great value. Just grab a croissant and a coffee half an hour into the journey at a service station.

@LaForet, thanks for the tip. We stayed there last Saturday night. Just the job. 81€ plus another 12€ each if you wanted breakfast. 2 mins back on the road. We may try some of the other suggestions next time but lots of good suggestions here!
