Mercure Lyon Est Villefontaine

Practical and just good.

Pros: The location on the way to the south Cons: Breakfast seemed very varied at first glance but it turned out that some things were of lesser quality. Basic items like scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages didn't taste good. Pancakes were fine but so industrial and not very tasty. The option to cook your own eggs: fine but the water doesn't boil so it becomes very difficult to determine when your egg is as you want it. A lot of effort for relatively limited results. Still, a thumbs up for the very friendly man in the breakfast room who welcomed everyone very kindly and enthusiastically!

Pros: Friendly staff. It's clean. Cons: But I'm not a fan of duplex rooms. I was hot at night, despite the air conditioning (which couldn't lower the temperature). And the soundproofing is incomplete. Aircraft noise okay. But I heard doors slamming very loudly (the person must have done it on purpose given the force, it's not possible). Maybe intentionally in protest of my daughters who were walking barefoot in the room (10 hours of driving is hard for children) (Young children tend to walk on their heels). But no slippers or anything to give them as not provided. So I told them to sit on the

Good stopover hotel but still some room for improvement in quality

Pros: The room was tidy with very good beds. The bathroom is functional but very small. For us, the location was very good as a stopover hotel. Cons: Breakfast is disappointing compared to other 4-star hotels. There was enough but the baguette was tough, the croissants not sufficiently baked, and the scrambled eggs had a powdery taste. There were construction works going on, so it was not possible to stretch your legs after a long car ride.

below expectations

Booked a room for 3 people that was to include 1 large and 1 small bed. Got 'upgraded' at check-in to a room that contained 1 king bed. After going to the front desk, we were placed in a room in the rear section that required a flight of stairs to get to the main door, and the room itself contained a loft with a split bathroom (sink/shower downstairs, toilet upstairs) and no railing for the staircase in the unit. As we were traveling with my 92-year-old grandmother, this was not going to work well. I ended up having to book an additional room. However, the original attendant hadn't unassigned

Pleasant.

Pros: Great location and the possibility to recharge the electric car. Cons: Nothing.
