Hôtel Mercure la Roche-Sur-Yon Centre

Location: The hotel is highly praised for its convenient placement in the city center, with nearby access to shops, restaurants, public parking, and other amenities. It serves as a great stopover for travelers or a base to explore the region.(based on 1 review)

The downstairs, public areas are great but the bedrooms are really not up to the Mercure standard and certainly not worthy of a 4* hotel. The bar and restaurant area is really beautiful with a lovely, shady terrace and plenty of cosy chairs and sofas to relax in. Breakfast was superb, lots of choice and the restaurant and bar staff were fantastic. However, I can't recommend an overnight stay here. We stayed in a "superior" room but there was nothing superior about it - it was very dark and cramped, with horrible purple walls and white plastic furniture, it seemed more like a budget motel than a 4 * hotel. It is advertised as having air conditioning but this is misleading as it just has an old fashioned ventilation system that didnt work effectively in the hot weather. The room was dusty and the carpet was quite grubby. The car park next door "Le Clemenceau" is a very cramped multi-storey, quite difficult to manoeuvre around even in a small car. The car park is closed in the evenings and at weekends so if you need to access your car at these times you have to swipe your ticket outside to enter and then pay before returning to your car in an enclosed car park with no staff or surveillance and swiping your ticket again so that the main gates will open. and let you out. I found it quite an unnerving experience and definitely would not recommend parking there if you are on your own.

Great location, great hotel, pay parking right beside hotel so just do it instead of driving around aimlessly. Restaurant and bar were pretty good too. I would recommend
