Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Lots of us have used Le Val Moret (https://www.le-val-moret.com/en/). Just off the motorway, large rooms and an excellent restaurant. About 30 minutes south of Troyes.

+1 for Le val Moret, which also has an indoor swimming pool and sauna. In the southern Champagne area so plenty of fizzy to try out as well.

We are currently in the Val Moret again, third visit in three weeks. Suits us as we can give the dog a bit of a run and we have always found the restaurant good. Just off to use the pool

@Pamski, have they updated the dog-friendly rooms? The last time we stayed ours was freezing cold and very run down. It put me off a bit, especially as the restaurant wasn't up to its usual standard either. Have to sort out our journey back at the end of the month.

This is starting to sound like the Val Moret fan club but we’ve also stayed there on the way to Chamonix. My family and my sister’s family stayed there and would definitely recommend it. Nice room and good food in the restaurant. My sister also had a dog which was no problem. We got there too late to use the pool which was a shame.

@Hells Bells, I dint think so! We are in a dog room this time and it is quite small but adequate for us. Big rugs straight out of the car and onto the bed. Coco is only a small dog but it might be a squash with larger ones. Last time here when we went back to UK on 23/12there hadn’t appeared to be an option of booking a dog room, so we didn’t.....
Both meals in December were good, we stick to the Etape menu, something like 19euros for three courses and a deni pitcher of wine. Tonight we know that it is a cold meal as the restaurant-proper is closed, but we did it on 1 Jan last year and it was fine.

The best rooms are the ones with a balcony which we always try and book if we can. They've been refurbished and the balcony allows you to leave the French window open slightly if you like sleeping with a bit of fresh air, but still be secure. Not all the cheapest rooms have been refurbished and I'd admit some of these still retain their 'formica' décor and are pretty small but they're reasonable value for any late arrival/early departure stopover.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Yet another Val Moret regular.
However there are a few Logis de France either side of Troyes that we've stayed in too - Have a look on their website / app: This one https://www.logishotels.com/en/hotel/l-auberge-de-la-fontaine-3519?no_dates=1 is about 90km past Troyes and one we have particularly fond memories of, but it is a bit off the motorway (a possible reason why so nice)
We were not staying in the main hotel, but in rooms across the road, above the 'corner shop' - which meant we shared the breakfast table, in the shop, with the local farmers who had popped in for their cafe and croissant. It was a little bit idyllic...

We have always stayed in b and b with evening meals; the quality is always higher than a chain hotel, and we have never paid more than 100 for a family room with breakfast. Currently about to stay near Dosches, 50€ for 2 b and b , 3 course meal with wine20€
Look at gites de France or booking.com.
Plus you get a taste of real France
