I stayed at an (Accor) Novotel in Toulouse a week ago and received free Internet and an upgrade to a small suite. The Internet speed was reasonable; I wasn't offered an upsell.

The Novotel Toulouse Centre Wilson is in a great location and is quite modern; it was perfect for our stay.

I rang le club ,who advised that it was,,,so clarification is needed here.
