Hotel de Paris. Cannes.

First hotel that i wanted to leave the minute i saw the room. imagine a small tall rectangular box. insert a loft at under which you enter the room bumping your head on the wooden rafters which are supposed to look like they have been there since the 18th Century [although no self-respecting 18th C French builder would ever had considered building such a miserly loft in such a cramped space] . add a small half-sprial stair which is designed to take you to the large bed on the loft...but you end up hitting your head on the top stair before you get to the loft; thus, needing to crouch to even get to the bed. add a small make-up 'desk' so cluttered with the obligatory superfluous stuff that a laptop would not be able to find a home. add two overstuffed armchairs with a low cocktail table nesteled between.
hard to imagine that anyone could destroy a property in that way. and it was not to just one room.....i asked for another room and was taken to another so called 'junior suite'. same awful layout but at least my head only grazed the loft ceiling.
add this one to the no-go list.
