Mercure Angers Centre is located right next door to the city's convention center and this hotel is used to dealing with a business crowd and provides very good service. The staff was very welcoming and efficient. Also, the room was of high standard, with a modern bathroom and shower and a very comfortable bed. The Mercure Angers Centre is not located in the downtown area of Angers proper: to get to the commercial center, stores, restaurants, sights, etc., requires about a 6-7 minute walk, although it is a pleasant and easy one straight down one street from the hotel, and with a few nice sights along the way. The hotel is also situated next to the Jardin des Plantes park, a calm green oasis with some nice plants and landscaping. It is worth noting that a new tramway network is being built that will facilitate transportation around Angers, but the town is otherwise easy to walk from the hotel. If you want a hotel in a rather quiet location, and don't want to be smack downtown, choose Mercure Anger Centre. They also have a restaurant which seems to be "normally" pricey for a business-type hotel. plus a large breakfast package deal. This is a clean and comfortable establishment of good professional standard.
