I stayed in this hotel for a few nights when I was on business. It was a little quirky to find in this wonderful town with streets going in all different directions, but is well worth it. From the moment I stepped up to the front desk to check-in, I never encountered anyone on the staff who wasn't completely friendly and willing to make my stay pleasant. The hotel is in a very pretty and safe neighborhood, a 5 min. walk to the entrance of the Chateau which is a wonderful place to go sightsee or picnic on the grounds. There are numerous restaurants and bars in the area. The one evening I ate in the restaurant at the Mercure it was very good with great service. The bar area is great after work where many people congregate. The rooms are large and comfortable with good television selections in both French and English -- ESPN America was especially welcome as they showed NFL football and major league baseball along with the other ESPN favorites. They also have a very good free wireless internet service. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a room in Fontainebleau.
