Thanks for posting. One of my major pet peeves is when a hotel closes its Entire Lovely Lounge for private gatherings.
In 2019, we stayed at the Hotel d'Argouges in Bayeux when a Rick Steves tour group was also there. On one night the tour group had a cocktail hour, and the hotel made another room available for the rest of us - very considerate.

What a shame you couldn’t have dinners there, wonderful! I still remember the breakfast spread as it had a delicious bread pudding.
We didn’t have to carry our luggage upstairs, staff did that for us.
We would stay here again. We enjoyed learning about all the WWII generals who stayed there too.
