Hôtel la Bérangère

Okay for a short stay Nice overall. Steps to a large shopping plaza with Carrefour and other stores. Rooms are clean. There vere several beds in the room filling all corners. No elevator in the hotel, which was a problem for handicapped people (like us)

Basic but reasonable and clean hotel A basic hotel for a basic price. Although all was present and available, the beds could be a little better, the airco was working but only on or off, no lo speed so we had to switch it off during the night. Very friendly and helpful staff. The swimming pool was a plus with the hot weather. From the hotel it’s a 20 min walk to the old Perouges.

Hotel La Berengere is easy to find, on the right just after the first roundabout as you enter Perouges (and before the left turn up to old Perouges village). If you don’t have a Satnav it might be slightly difficult as the hotel is hidden behind a high hedge. Parking is plentiful. Although we were an hour early, the charming lady let us book into our room, which is what I’d describe as plain and functional, but perfectly comfortable and with a very smart en-suite. The lobby area in reception is smart and comfortable and there is also a nice patio and pool area. The hotel is situated just on the edge of Meximieux and is a comfortable 20 minute walk into the old village of Perouges. Meximieux is where you will find all the usual facilities but if you like a beer in the evening I warn you that there aren’t many bars in town. I found two - L’Aquarelle and the Lion d’Or (the latter being very good) which are both no more than a 10 minute walk from the hotel. You can, of course, get beer in the hotel. Breakfast was very good and, in addition to fresh fruits, yoghurts, cereals etc, there was a decent selection of cold meats, cheeses and hard boiled eggs all served with plenty of bread and croissants. Although the coffee was from a machine it was actually OK. We enjoyed our stay here and would certainly use the hotel again.
