    The Mercure is an exceptional hotel in the area. We had a larger room for three adults which included an additional bedroom. The room was very spacious. American River has a lovely walk on the beach very close to the hotel.

    Property not far from the ferry. Good for late arrival and early departure. Good sized room. Definitely worth getting a waterside view. Just lovely. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

    Staff was excellent both at the front desk and in the restaurant. The rooms were clean. Beds were comfortable. Location was a slight bit of the beaten path but not too much to make it a problem. property was right across from the water!
