Breakfast was OK, if expensive. As always, the fruit seemed mass bought rather than selected.
I loath foam pillows. They have no consistency and offer little support. The decorative cushions were necessary to provide support for my head. I had two relatively sleepless nights.

Well located for exploring Besancon. Comfortable spacious room. Nice selection of food at breakfast. Staff friendly and accomadating.

A refurbished building smack in the middle of the town, great for doing everything on foot except getting to the train station. One can see that it's an old hotel that got retrofitted: the rooms have old-fashioned vestibules, which are actually great for keeping the room proper very dark. The continental breakfast was great, with a yoghurt bowl (very important for me) and a good variety of local and more broadly French delicacies. Despite being an older building, there were no issues with water pressure or temperature in the shower. The reception crew was very kind and helpful, without exceptions. Despite being classed as a three-star in Booking.com, local signs labelled it as a four-star, and indeed it had traits of both. There's a casino with a restaurant next to it, which is an excellent option for Sunday nights when lots of restaurants are closed due to the small size of the town.
The air conditioner in the room was noisy, so I needed to turn it off. No big issue in late summer or early fall, but I imagine it could be annoying to light sleepers. The "free wifi" was more annoying, though: you could only get low speed access unless you registered in Accor Hotels, which I chose not to do and was thus forced to route everything from my mobile device. There was no mini-fridge in the room, which is not a given for a three-star hotel, but would've been welcome, especially for my mother who takes medication that needs refrigeration.

the staff were really helpful and courteous.
The rooms are tired. The furniture is worn, the tiles and grout lines in the bathroom were black due to mould and age, the interior of the fridge was mouldy/dirty. We booked thinking, from the website information, that this hotel had a functioning restaurant, but when we went to book a table for
Friday night we were told the restaurant was closed. (The reception did book us a table at the casino restaurant next door.) The breakfast was OK, plenty of choice, however replacement of bacon, eggs and mushrooms was very slow and when it was replaced on Sunday morning the bacon was uncooked and very poor quality, more fat than meat and eggs and mushrooms were cold. The toaster was also broken on Sunday and some of the plates were chipped, but still being put out by the hotel staff. The bar was operated by the reception staff, who were again really courteous and helpful, however the bar had an aroma almost like a sewer, so we didn't stay long.

The two ladies on reception were helpful when we arrived because a gentlemen booked the wrong date for our stay which had to be rectified.
We were allocated room 409 but the carpet was dirty and the chair was marked.
Reception then allocated us a different room 609. The toilet bowl was filthy and stained dark brown, the seat was broken and the toilet holder was missing. There was black mould on the waste pipes underneath the sink, also on the ceiling.the bath taps were discoloured and grey.
We wanted to leave immediately and asked for a refund but no one was available to authorise it.
We have since sent an email to [email protected] hotels on 12th of June but have not received any response at all.
A young man from reception came to clean the toilet but it was still stained perhaps too difficult to remove.

It's location
Sadly, this hotel has just added to our disappointment with Mercure hotels in recent years. The hotel felt dull, dark and in need of a bit of love. The restaurant was only open Mon-Thurs (thankfully we arrived on a Thursday) and the menu consisted of two choices for main course. We had travelled a considerable distance that day and really didn't want to go out exploring (nor indeed was there anywhere local to eat).
This experience is similar to a couple of other trips. The cheaper alternative of an Ibis hotel (same chain - Accor) have never let us down.

Breakfast and evening meal were okay. Staff friendly and helpful. Location good for city centre.
Rooms dated and ready for a refresh. Decor very 1980's.

I didn't take breakfast, choosing a lie in instead, having been kept awake until 5 am by the night club opposite my window.
No hot water and a night club opposite my window and very little sound proofing on the window.
