Mercure Tours Sud

Lots of surface area for our stuff. The lake and walking path behind the hotel are beautiful!

New, modern, well appointed. Very helpful staff. Nice lake to walk round if you want a breath of fresh air. Supermarket close by and within walking distance, but not much in the way if cafes, restaurants etc. Ideal if you just want somewhere to sleep enroute. Off the motorway but not noisy. Good parking. 60 Euros by taxi from Tours airport (which shuts at 8pm and has very few facilities).

This visit was a stopover so we were very tired when we arrived for just one night. Check in was good and luckily I had pre-booked dinner in the restaurant. If I hadn't we would not have got a table ! Bed very comfortable. Room clean. Choose carefully in the restaurant as the food is very hit and miss. Would suggest you keep it simple. Very close to motorway.

Hotel was fine for what it was needed for. We were travelling back and needed a stop in Tours. Was perfect location and had all the amenities needed with a 10month old baby.

Mercure is not a 4 star hotel, more a 3 star trying their best as they always find ways to tarnish their reputation. I say this as an Accor loyalty member who spent more than 40 nights in Mercure hotels last year. I only stayed at this hotel because I had a non refundable booking as my last Accor booking for Mercure Hatfield was inexplicable cancelled and after initial contact with customer service, they have chosen to ignore my follow up email checking for a response. Therefore, it would have been cancelled if I could have had a refund. In general, room was comfortable and staff were always helpful until upon check-out the receptionist did not acknowledge me and proceeded to take 3 phone calls including an enquiry for the Accor loyalty programme and a possible stay in 3 weeks time. Room was comfortable and cool even though it was exceptionally hot. Room layout was good and familiar from other Mercure hotels but all the towels were too worn for every day during my 3 days. Location was perfect for getting around Tours and getting the périphérique for outside Tours. Didn't use the restaurant, but it looked good and seemed popular. Lifts were available which is not always the case at Mercure. Parking was good and seemed safe which is important for me as it is less so for hotels more central in Tours.

Nice property, check in was a breeze and my room was clean. Breakfast could’ve improved. Gym and pool were great. Ample parking at hotel. The one negative was that the air was turned off so the room was hot and stuffy. There are no screens in the window so if you choose to open for fresh air, bugs come in.

Front desk was lovely, the breakfast staff were efficient but nice. The rooms are tired, not what I would expect for 4star, its more 3star. The food was good, the menu was very expensive, nearly €5 for a bottle of water!!!! In the room itself, 3 of us were in the room, and only one small bottle of evian was left as a compliment. That is not a compliment, it was an insult not to leave one for each person. The message is staff very nice, hotel tired, over priced, and it was freezing in the dining room, yet when asked if the air conditioning could be turned down or indeed off, it was a flat no. So noway a 4 star, more 3 or a 2 star, that way you wont be dissappointed if you understand what star it should be. So not sure I would stay again, but staff were super nice, so silver linings

When we first pulled up to the hotel, I was very concerned about what the interior might look like, as the facade resembled a bit like a motel. However, we were pleasantly surprised that our twin room on the second was modern, very clean and comfortable, but as it was opposite the elevator, it was a little noisy. The front desk staff, as were the rest, were very friendly and accommodating.

Pleasant stay. Close to a lake and walks. Good parking.

This hotel is perfect for a stopover on a long journey. The staff were friendly and helpful, the food amazing and the accommodation was perfect for our needs. The hotel is also located next to a beautiful lake and recreation area which was perfect for an evening stroll.

Very happy with this hotel.

The hotel is ok. A bit far from Tours. A nice park and a lake is in front of the hotel.

We wanted a convenient hotel travelling from Spain and this hotel fitted well. Staff were very pleasant on arrival and the room was excellent in terms of size and facilities. Nice to see a separate WC separate from the bathroom. Only adverse comment was that the Steak I had at the evening meal was on the tough side but otherwise a good meal choice for evening and breakfast.

Easy to find from Motorway, tricky from the centre of town.

We needed a place to stop to break our journey from the south of France to the north. And this was a good choice. Not the place to stay if you want to see Tours, but we knew that. It has good facilities, pool. spa etc, all of which seemed popular with the locals. It is also clearly a hotel for business conferences. As with other Mercure and Novotel hotels the food is pretty mediocre, but edible all the same.

My simple review is that everything exceeded my expectations.
