Hotel De France - Ax-les-Thermes, France 

We were booked into Hotel De France by a friend and had a reservation to stay there for 5 nights. We fled after one night. I can't speak to the rooms in the main building but the building in the rear was abominable. A malodorous melange greets one upon entering the building and is nearly overwhelming. Once we survived the gauntlet to our rooms, one of our party found his bed sheets to be replete w/ human hairs of various anatomic origin. To my disgust, I found the sheets on the main bed in my room to the same way (I slept on the cot that night). The mgt seemed apathetic in general and the next morning, we found an excellent small hotel, on the plaza where the weekly market is held. Same price w/ most excellent service but including breakfast and a gourmet dinner. And clean, tasteful rooms recently renovated. Consider yourself warned.
