We loved this place! Great room, of good size, with a view over the terrasse and pool, and beyond that to the Loire. It's a fair walk from the Chateau, Le Lieu Unique, &c. and until you cross the river, it's not the prettiest part of town, but the level of comfort of the hotel, and the superlative breakfasts, make this an excellent choice for a city visit. You'll need to be quick though; Mercure are not extending their lease on this site, and it is due for demolition after May next year. Whilst that means some of the hotel looks like it could use some refurbishment, it also means bargains are to be had. Staff are attentive, knowledgeable about sites to see, and always helpful.
