The Kyriad Hotel Centre Troyes has its own underground secure parking, not shared. Secondly Troyes is a fantastic historic town with numerous great restaurants just a short walk away - a perfect place for a stop over when on a leisurely journey to the South of France. Beaune is similar in many ways.
Fuck off
If Troyes isn’t your bag (not a fan of cities myself) then can I recommend a small town of Piney, near Troyes …where the Hotel La Tadorne is situated

Be sure to ask for & book a rear room, overlooking the charming walled rear courtyard though
Great hotel, superb food and used to be run and owned by a Dakar racer and had his KTM Rally bike on display in the breakfast room
Outdoor pool as well
Edit - Gerard has just also recommended it (whilst typing this post)
Emailed and awaiting for a response. If it's good enough for you lads I'm sure it will be fine.
Thanks
As I recall, it is a bit of a culinary 'destination' for the locals....I'm sure youll like it....I'll try and find th report I did with some more pictures...
Evening food used to be excellent and well visited by locals, as you say
Personally, like your good self…I would sooner use something to stop in, with good local food and a decent bar/cellar, when on hols and family run …in preference to a big city as you’re just one of the summer tourist hordes, traipsing around the city streets from place to place, looking for somewhere to eat from a menu board outside, unsure of the quality of the place and then either get disappointed or fed up with traipsing and default to pizza or egg & chips (as Arsey says)
Give me a small town/village with some character every time
City breaks - fly there

Plus there a shops.
Troyes is hardly a seething metropolis.
It has a smaller population than Bath and about the same size as Hereford. It is half the population of Bruges, a very popular destination on these pages.
Given that many bods on this site worry about:
Safe parking
The hotelier being friendly
Hoteliers and staff speaking nothing but foreign
The availability of cash machines
A pub / bar
A pizza / burger bar / a kebab
A town or city suits them perfectly

Quite right. It would suit many. They are welcome....keeps them out of the way.... Just not me. Or JB it would seem!
Troyes is on my list of places to stay for a few days, either by myself or with my rag tag bunch of geriatrics. We like small or rural places but we also like to stay in historic cities like Reims, Beaune, Blois, Trier, Goslar, Kempten, to name a few we have visited. I have some health conditions and the others are a decade older than me. A day off the bike mid trip is of great value. Sitting in a café watching the world wander by, ambling around a castle or wobbling around cobbled streets can be just the ticket.
Troyes has all of that and more
It’s quite a nice small’ish town in the middle, with a light industrial / commercial section tacked on the outside, on the ring road to the airport. That light industrial section has an F1 hotel. It’ll suit many bikermates on this forum.

It also has prison on the left as you walk from the Kyriad towards the town centre.
And don't forget the Rulles -des-chats
