Travel Tip: If you want charm, try a local hotel in a small town. If you want a clean place to lay your head and save your money for something else, try the Etap system. Sure it's cookie-cutter: always clean, always the same lay-out and breakfasts are mostly 5 euros extra but so worth it. You can get up, eat and go. Personally I liked the little hotels better but when you close your eyes at the end of the day, (and paid only 35 euros) it doesn't matter so much.
