Hotel Le Clos Champel

We went there with a lot of preconceptions given the comments and the difficulty in booking with a Wonderbox but in the end: very nice surprise! The chef is very accessible and attentive and, above all, delicious food: excellent sauces, original combinations, plentiful. All very refined and very delicious. Great wine list for connoisseurs.

It must have had some charm, it's now in the middle of a commercial area. nothing was as booked except the good quality bed. dangling socket, leaking shower hose, broken bathroom drawer (tiny). balcony overlooking the building... it seems that there is a swimming pool and a spa, the owner did not inform us... meal at the restaurant with a set menu (rather good) and wines too, without telling us anything about their origin nor their price. glasses overcharged in the end as well as an addition error in their favor. we will not return to it.

This is a hotel and restaurant we found at the end of a hard day where we needed to be near Rennes to swap cars and it was too late and we were too tired to deal with a city. Cresson-Sevigny is a commercial outskirt of Rennes and didn’t promise much in the way of cute. We drove to one of the hotels in the Red Book, but that one was full. There were several standard hotels around, like the Ibis, but hotels like this serve primarily warmed pre-cooked food. We had passed this place we thought cute on the way, So we came back to find that yes they had a room and yes they had a restaurant. Indeed, the chef was the owner of both. The hotel was a 3 star by French standards, but not by us. Judy went to see the room and thought is ok enough as we were tired and wanted to be done looking, so we stayed. After we moved in she did make the comment that it reminded her of the Bates Motel, but we’re still here. It wasn’t that the room was uncomfortable but very ordinary, as was the whole place except the restaurant. It was spring and maybe the grounds were not yet cleaned up for the summer rush. Clearly the owner/chef, put the restaurant first. As for the hotel, it was just ok.
