Recommended by mjls on HUBB: "Formule1 don't have a bathroom inside your room. Etape hotels do have."
Reasonably priced hotel chain in France, recommended by kevinrbeech on HUBB : "Villages Hotel is another, probably not as cheap we travel by car but for a family of four with breakfast about £40. With this chain you get en-suite and a tv in your room." Also check out www.hotelformule1.com.
