It's got easy to use kiosks to buy your bus tickets, or you can pay when you board. We used it to buy bus tickets to Marseille, where we spent the day sight-seeing. The ticket each way was only 7 euro per person and the ride is quick, about 30 mins. The buses get their own lanes to drive in, so if there's traffic it doesn't seem to affect the bus much. The busses were clean and decent as well.

You walk out of the hotel onto the provincial street. Everything is in walking distance. Although English is spoken here, it is preferred if you use French. We were traveling for many days, staying at different places and this was our last stop. I needed to get some things laundered so I put a few items in the bag and had it picked up. The next day all of my items (but one sock) was returned. In my broken French, I asked the staff who delivered my laundry where the other sock was. He told me I only gave him one sock to launder. Impossible! Why would I only give one sock? He and I went back and forth with who was right...him ,"non, un"...me, "non, deux!" This went on for quite awhile. Alas, I gave in. I left the hotel with only one clean sock!

We only had breakfast and drinks here - no other meals, but based on the constant activity at the indoor/outdoor dining area: it must be pretty good.
