Amboise is a lovely town with many good restaurants and shops. It's very convenient for exploring the Loire Valley. Although we generally try to stay in very central hotels, during the time we were in Amboise, they either were very expensive or did not promise air conditioning. The Best Western Le Vinci offered an excellent rate and A/C. Given that we would have a car for this portion of the trip, we decided to stay here. Honestly, the walk from the hotel to the city center was not bad at all for us. Also, parking in the city center was also available when we needed it. Some folks may wish to be aware that the walk back to the hotel from downtown is mostly uphill, but the grade is not steep. The hotel was very clean, and the room was comfortable. The A/C and wifi worked perfectly. The hotel was very quiet except for one thing. The hinges on the doors to the rooms were squeaky, and we could hear them when other guests were opening and closing their doors. Overall, we made a good choice, and I would choose to stay here again. less
