The Cannes Film Festival is happening next week and Hollywood's celebrities will be flocking to the place to show off their latest movies and designer outfits. (We personally cannot wait to see what craziness Sharon Stone will be exhibiting.)

For many the large luxury spots are out of reach, but so is the small, family-run California's Hotel.

Capitalizing on the film festival not just in name, the hotel is offering rooms for about $215 a night but require that you stay for 11 nights (!!!) from May 17 to May 28. We say book sometime during the spring where the required minimum is three nights and then you won't feel so trapped.

Or stay outside the city and train it into Cannes so you can go home before the summer is over.

Despite the Nazi minimum requirement, the reviews are among the best, including one guest who says:

Everything is about quality here - from the beds in the rooms (the best sleep you will ever have) to the breakfasts (the freshest pastries in Cannes).
