Le Manoir les Minimes

We were very disappointed with this hotel, which was not worth the considerable money we paid. The first disappointment was being put into a dark garret room next to the laundry. We had no idea the hotel has apparently a two-class room system i.e. big and light, or the garret. Second, we were told, when bringing in some takeaway (from the delicious Le Pekin in town) that food was not allowed because its smell might impregnate the valuable tapestries! We certainly had no tapestries in the garret! Third, the following day a very haughty and unpleasant staff person informed us that FOOD had been discovered in our sink. UH OH! For a moment, given his tone, I expected a call to the authorities! On the plus side, the hotel is well situated near the center of Amboise and it does employ a very nice young fellow, named I believe Paul. Overall, though, we felt quite ill at ease as a result of being treated like bad kids in a Dickensian boarding school.
