Advantages: nice rooms Disadvantages: nothing major
After deciding to take a trip to Glasgow for a few days, my husband and I set out to find a good value hotel. After looking at the usual Travelodges and Premier Travel Inns, we came across the Campanilehotel which is like the French version of Travelodge. It was 52 pounds a night and had a secure car park, something which we found very good as parking in Glasgow tends to be quite expensive. Although the price was good we decided to shop around and managed to book 3 nights for 122 pounds on Expedia.
The location of the hotel was very good as it was in the newly upgraded and developed area near the SECC and surrounding the hotel was luxury apartments, the new Clyde Arc bridge, the new STV and BBC Scotland studios and the SECC and Glasgow Science Centre. It was 20 minutes walking to the Kelvingrove Art Museum and the Transport ...

The Road to Compiegne is the second book of Jean Plaidy's French Revolution trilogy. The previous book, Louis the Well-Beloved, is about the first half of Louis XV's life. This book finishes his life story.
Expenditure on maintaining a lavish court, with new buildings for himself and mistresses, plus costly wars leaves the ordinary people unable to afford the high prices of basic food. Not surprising, they are sickened by this, and the book tells us in the first chapter that Louis has a road built around Paris to his palace at Compiegne. This by-pass is to avoid travelling through the city where he has become extremely unpopular. He only wants to enter Paris when duty makes it unavoidable.
*** The Whores ***
Louis continues to have a lot of mistresses, two of whom, in this book, become much more than just ...
Advantages: Clean, Tidy, Friendly Staff Disadvantages: Rooms could be bigger.
Campanile as it is part of the same group of companies. We complained to the manager of the Premiere Classe hotel and insisted on being given a room in the Campanile as it was right next door.
I'm sorry to say that I am one of those tourists who never really tries too hard to pick up the local language but I studied French for my GCSE's, albeit many years ago, and so was disappointed to learn that the staff at this hotel did not speak English. I guess disappointed is the wrong word but in lieu of a better one, it stays. The lady at the front desk could not speak a word of English but was very very helpful and friendly. My limited French did not really aid the situation but she knew that one of the guests was English and spoke fluent French and so asked him to help. She resolved the problem very quickly and gave us a room for the duration ...
