Mercure Moulins Hotel de Paris hotel

Although we had booked a standard room, the room we received was much more like a superior room; which was a nice surprise, as we had been very disappointed with the last Mercure hotel in Saint Nectaire, where we had booked and paid for a superior room, but received (despite complaint) a very poor, dark and shabby standard room. The room here was very comfortable, with a spacious bathroom including separate bath and shower. The only minus point would be that the toilet is in a separate room without a hand basin. Although the hotel doesn't have a restaurant any more (apart from the breakfast room), there are plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance. Unlike the hotel in Saint Nectaire, where you had to pay €6 for towels to use the pool, the staff here willingly gave us towels for pool use at no extra charge. The staff were very friendly. Breakfast to the usual excellent Mercure standard, although there was no bacon! Although there is a parking charge, it is worth it, as the car park is secured by locked gates.
