Novotel Toulouse Centre Compans Caffarelli in Toulouse

It has a bathtub and sofa, good Wi-Fi, a large underground parking lot, and a nice plaza in front. However, the breakfast is terrible.

The hotel is located in a nice neighbourhood close to transport, bakeries and restaurants. The hotel is next to a nice park and a Japanese garden. The reception staff was very friendly.
And now for the bad:
The room was not properly cleaned. We found trash under the bed including a used electronic pipe. The floor around the toilet was stained with urine.
The thermostat did not work. Couldn’t turn the heat on. I called the front desk and they offered a portable heater. I noticed the same trend in at least two other hotels from the same conglomerate this summer when the thermostats didn’t work during a heat wave.
The restaurant dinner was overpriced and badly cooked. The staff was unfriendly to say the least.
The same sparsely furnished breakfast buffet, once included in the cost of the room, is now offered for about 20 bucks. I don’t eat much breakfast, so we were promptly offered a “breakfast menu” that includes coffee, croissant and a glass of juice for about 9 bucks. I said OK. To my surprise I was told to help myself with the items from the breakfast buffet. The pastries on the breakfast buffet are of the miniature kind (about 2-3 inches long), the juice glass and coffee cups were tiny (3+/- oz.). I said “no thank you” and I decided to step out and had breakfast at a bakery with real size pastries and plenty of juice for around 3 bucks.
