B&B HOTEL Tours Sud Joué-lès-tours

Good value, easy to find, and really clean. The staff were friendly too.

We'd booked this as a family room, but the steep mezzanine stairs made it unsafe for us to stay there with our toddler, so we had to find different accommodation as well. The room itself was basic and clean, and could be fine for a quick night with older kids.

Parking felt secure, with a gate at night that opened using the room code, and it was easy to get to the autoroute. Breakfast was basic but enough. The small room was clean, but there was a strong, unpleasant smell that got into our clothes and suitcases. Everything still smelled bad the next morning and even a few days later. We were on the first floor, and hadn't seen anything saying there was no elevator. My wife has difficulty with stairs, so finding out was a big disappointment. The website should have mentioned it.

The bed was very good and the room itself was okay, but the bathroom drain was broken. It seemed like it had been that way for a long time, with no concern about fixing it. We canceled breakfast for the second night. At 8.5 euros per person it wasn't worth it: the scrambled eggs were horribly mushy and tasted disgusting, the coffee was poor, and the rest tasted extremely cheap. The narrow food-serving aisle also meant Covid precautions couldn't be followed, which felt really bad.
