In praise of Ibis and Campanile

To Nancy and me, a hotel is merely a means of delivering a big bed, a clean bathroom, and a good night's sleep. Travelers with our sensibilities should check out two French chains, Campanile (www.campanile.fr) and Ibis (www.ibishotel.com or www.accorhotel.com) Clean rooms, good prices - even Michelin deigns to recognize them occasionally as one-boxers. And they have terrific buffet-style breakfasts, diverse, healthy, and cheap.
