Travelling from the south of France a friend had stated Moulins was a good place for an overnight stop while travelling back to the UK. Mercure Hotels are a major chain and usually reliable so I booked this hotel well in advance. Plus points: Huge beds, clean rooms great breakfast and if booked in advance can get a really good rate (compared to the UK), good views. Downside: 10km out of town, pool not open when we were there, a source of dissapointment when travelling with a six year old, very ugly exterior.
Staff were friendly and Moulins is indeed a nice town to visit, if you have not got a car though and stay at this Mercure, you won't be visiting it!
