Loire & Sens

Very friendly staff and room very clean. Lovely setting with each room having its own terrace. Dog friendly and there is a great public open space on the other side of the road where dogs can be exercised. Unfortunately we could not use the restaurant because a wedding party was using it. However good restaurants nearby and good room service meant this did not detract too much.

The first night we stayed we would award top marks, but on or return 4 days later the second room was not as good. It was not as clean, the shower screen support was loose, the tv was hanging and not working properly. The furniture on the terrace was very dirty, we cleaned it before we could sit down. We were served a meal in our room, but thought that the dirty dishes would be removed, but they remained until we signed out

The hotel is located in the countryside about 1/2 hour by car from the center of Angers. Everything is very nice as one would expect from a hotel with this rating. There are two observations, that lead to the subtraction of 1 star in the overall rating. 1st: We were there to attend a large wedding party, that lasted into the morning hours. It would have been a nice gesture on part of the hotel, if the usual breakfast time of 8 to 10 had been extended by 1 or 2 hours on the morning after the party. This would have given the many guests that stayed overnight a chance to get a good night's sleep. 2nd: The refrigerator in our room was stocked with 2 bottles of Evian water only. I would have expected a choice of beers or wine together with a choice of waters and a welcome gesture such as a chocolate or a fruit basket.

Hotel was holding a large separate function which initially meant we were denied a table in the restaurant - we were on a cycling tour, staying one night, so this was frustrating after a long day's ride. However, on reflection, we were granted a table. Food was superb, facilities were great, once the initial restaurant hurdle was over, we found the staff friendly and helpful.

Parfait pour se reposer et se détendre en famille
