Novotel Blois Centre Val de Loire

I think I booked a classic room for 4 ppl but when I checked in, it was a standard room for 2 ppl. Anyway, I was there alone so I didnt make any complain. The room is standard and clean. Breakfast serving time is only to 10 am which I missed it.

Our visit to the hotel was very disappointing as we had to wait an hour to check in time as the room was not ready despte us arriving after 15:00! When we initially complained, we were offered a drink of our choice and when we selected wine were told we could not have it as it was too expensive and we could have a soft drink only. The staff said it was not the hotels fault the room was not ready, which as the room are cleaned by the hotel staff I found this informationsurprising! There were also no supervisors or managers on duty at the weekend, and therefore, no one was able to resolve our complaint. The swimming pool, despite being small, was very popular, meaning there was no space even just to stand! The breakfast was ok, although none of the hot food was hot. The hotel does have a secure car park, which is an extra despite it being next to council car park, which did not charge whilst we were staying, which the hotel staff denied when asked. On a positive the hotel is easy walking distance to the city centre.

On the outside it looks old and worn out, but it’s so much better than for instance le Pommes D’ or in La Charité-sur-Loire (don’t ever go there!!!) The friendly atmosphere and willingness’s to help was very good. The petit dejeunier was nice but not to write about. For a night it’s okay
