Holiday Inn Dijon by IHG
Nice stay, beds good - but lots of different types of pillows which were awkward for some of us. There was no tea and coffee in the room despite a kettle. Large car park which appeared safe. Will consider booking again for our next trip.

Campanile Dijon Nord - Toison d'Or
Half between our trip north to south, easy to find. Easy check-in. The room was really nice, a step up from the budget hotels. The tram to town stops just by the hotel and we had a wonderful night in Dijon. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean
