We made an overnight stay here on our way north. Arriving without a booking, we were prepared to take whatever was available, so were not too upset by the top floor room with its decidedly tired decor and it did have a pleasant view of the river.||||Town hotels are always significantly more expensive than countryside ones, however, the bill for this one came to more than twice as much as any other hotel we stayed in this year - so I would say it is overpriced. Moreover, the private parking area is limited (so you would need to arrive very early to get a space) and they charge 10 euros/night. ||||On the good side, the personnel are helpful and friendly and the restaurant food is good. On the other hand, the said restaurant is pretentious and prices are high. There is a lot of "extra" attention, in the form of amuse-bouches before your first course arrives and waiters who hover and insist on pouring out your wine for you. Fine if you like that sort of thing.||||The wine, however was a problem. Again, exceptionally high prices for what was on offer, so we ordered a half bottle of Chinon. When it came, it was extremely cold and we should have sent it back for that reason, but unfortunately, we didn't. As it gradually warmed, we found out why it had been served so cold - because of the exceedingly unpleasant flavour which emerged! I could not say with certainty that this was a deliberate ploy, but we certainly believed that it was.
