Trust me, you will not be sleeping the night before, with the nerves and excitement, so go cheap and cheerful rather than expensive.
Look for somewhere convenient to the start, to make the opening of this magnificent adventure as hassle free as possible.
Oh, and good luck. The sense of achivement as you summit the Galibier, with the crowds baying like wolves, and breathing beer and sun tan oil in your face, is something you will never forget.
