Mercure Saint Lo Centre hotel

We enjoy St Lo, it is comfortable and have been visiting the area each September for a good number of years. The Mercure is undoubtedly the best situated Hotel to enjoy the town as it sits alongside the river and looks out on the "old town" walls. Most of the town is within easy walking distance & the Saturday market is a must visit.

We have been coming to Saint Lo since 1990 but have only stayed at the Mercure three times. Because we are staying for Sporting event we often have to fit in with other team members but for the last few years we have put our comfort first. So having tried many of the Hotels in the area the Mercure scores for us, it is in the town, a view of the Ramparts and river. The hotel offers comfort and the staff are friendlyand cater well for sports persons and their oddities!

We booked a premier room which was very clean and nicely furnished. However, it was very warm in Normandy and the temperature in the room was too hot. It was on a very busy road so very noisy when windows opened. We ate in the restaurant one night and was not impressed at all with the food - would not recommend. Chipped crockery and dirty cutlery at breakfast. Restaurant needs improving greatly.

Very conveniently positioned just off the centre of the town and virtually 'under' the impressive, high rampart walls. The hotel is in an excellent location for accessing places in St Lô on foot; equally, it is well-located for reaching all the major roads that lead to all the usual sights of interest within Manche and also further afield to the coast (north and west), to Brittany and to northern Mayenne. The hotel itself is functional in design and very clean; our room was great (overlooking the ramparts) especially the bathroom which was well-designed and had a super shower unit. We found all aspects of the hotel to be good-to-excellent although, given the easy walk to town, we never used the restaurant (either for breakfast or for any other meal).
