Fontainebleau, Seine-et-Marne Hotel Rooms at the Independent

The proprietor of the hotel is a rude and angry man. From the time I arrived until the minute I left the property, he communicated with my by yelling. When my room wasn't ready (I arrived early), I left to get lunch. When I returned, he asked me for my room number. As I hadn't yet checked in, I said I didn't know the number. He screamed at me that I better remember it next time. I politely explained that I hadn't checked in yet. Didn't he remember me? I had spoken to him no less than 45 minutes prior, and I was the only guest checking in at the time. When I asked for help taking my luggage up three flights of narrow stairs, he shouted at he to get out of the lobby and take my own luggage up stairs. The next morning, he yelled at me for sitting at a two-person table when I was just one person. I tried to explain that I needed to work on my computer, but he insisted on moving me to a smaller table. I will never patronize this establishment again. I hope you won't either.

I booked thru expedia tho I had stayed at this hotel before on business while at instead. I was upgraded to a deluxe room for no extra charge and it was truly wonderful. Room just lovely. Bathroom redone complete w fabulous Jacuzzi to ease tension of long haul flights. Went to bed relaxed and cozy. Staff extraordinarily welcoming and helpful as always. Can't wait to go back!

Our room opened onto a beautiful courtyard, and we slept with the windows open listening to the rain. The street noise was blocked by the front of the building but in the morning the noise of the maintenace crew and loud guests talking reverberated in the space. The serve a really nice breakfast. Rachel at reception was very helpful.
