Mercure Avignon Gare TGV 4 stars

everything perfect, room was great, great location, amazing breakfast and staff was very nice

I really liked this hotel. It is evident it is a very well-managed property. All staff I encountered were welcoming and helpful. There was plenty of parking available in the gated lot in front of the hotel. When that lot filled, there was parking at a lot a few steps away. The hotel is located within easy walking distance of the tgv station. What really appealed to me were the fresh, stylish and comfortable rooms. My room was so clean - spotless. I don’t toss around “spotless” lightly. The housekeeping staff was excellent. The room was quiet and peaceful. There were wooden floors in the rooms, which I really appreciated for cleanliness and looks. I thought the decor was lovely, sleek and modern yet cozy. The public rooms were also very stylishly and appealingly decorated. The only area that could use a slight improvement would be breakfast. The eggs needed to be replaced more often. But that’s a minor complaint. There were oranges available to make your own fresh juice, plenty of breads/pastries, etc. It got a bit chaotic, evidently the hotel was quite full, so I enjoyed the option of dining on one of the tables outside overlooking the pool. It was Easter weekend and the hotel staff decorated so nicely. I thought that was a lovely touch. I had such a good experience at this Mercure that I find myself looking for Mercures or other brands by Accor when I plan travel. I have yet to find one that matches the quality of this particular Mercure, though.

Got lost walking from Avignon TGV - it was dark and streets not well lit. Ended up back T Station- taxi driver reluctantly drove us to your hotel. He said it was easy to walk there! However he did and the hotel itself was very clean and comfortable. Strange arrangement for shower area. Not behind a closeable door just a curtain.

This would be a perfect place for a traveling sport team. The capsule like rooms are evocative of tv space travel accommodations. The sink and shower are actually in the bedroom. All restaurant amenities are automated, but the coffee delivery system wasn’t working. There’s an attempt to project a cool image, but, frankly, unless there’s a super sale, I’d give this overpriced accommodation a pass.

Excellent hotel, all staff were kind and helpful.
