Quiet, clean, lovely setting, staff friendly and helpful. Arrived 8.00pm evening in time to eat in the restaurant. Simple set menu, but tasty french cooking. Couldn't have asked for more. One guy seemed to run the whole operation reception,waiter, concierge. Great guy. Will pass on details to my son who regularly attends track days at the Le Mans circuit.

Located in front of Le Mans station, access is excellent. The room was spacious and clean, but I felt unsatisfactory with the amenities and facilities. The shampoo and body soap were only in the shower room, and the amount of water in the shower and the amount of air in the dryer were weak. The front desk staff are friendly and helpful and polite. Breakfast was standard in France and was delicious.

The room was clean and tidy, but very small. It was crowded even when the luggage was unpacked. Fortunately, the location was very good. There were many small bars below the hotel for drinking and eating snacks. It was very close to the old town. There was also a parking lot with a gate, which was very safe.

The hotel is functional and an ideal stopover point for travelling in France. The room was very clean and the bathroom facilities were good. The beds were quite hard and the sofa bed used by our children was very squeaky!! Breakfast is very good with local and organic produce.

Another good stop. We regularly use this hotel often en route between London and the Charante via the Channel Tunnel. A great place to stop not far off the A28 motorway (other motorways are available) with options for dining nearby. The hotel is reasonably priced, clean and functional (although it’s more than that if I’m honest). Good beds and bathrooms to make sure you leave fresh the next day. Breakfast is also available for a small charge. For an evening meal, Pondarosa is within a very short walk and more options available a short drive away or for delivery. Hotel staff are friendly and have excellent English. We’ll be back again and continue to recommend to others who visit.

GGuest UserCan’t recommend this hotel enough. Our room was spacious and clean and comfortable. We were in room 18 just off reception but there was no noise from the lobby. This room has two double beds and space for a travel cot so perfect for a family. There are dog friendly rooms too. We stayed here with other family members and spent the afternoon after our ferry journey and drive just relaxing in the hotel garden ordering drinks from the lovely lady on reception. The garden is big and has plenty if comfortable seating plus games such as ping pong, archery, skittles and football to keep kids entertained. We ordered some pizza that evening and ate it in the garden whilst drinking some rose wine from the bar. Perfect. Breakfast the next day was continental - a mix of bread/ ham/ cheese/ pastries/ yogurt / fruit so enough to keep you going until lunch. The coffee was good. The price for our stay was excellent value, really could not fault it for the price. Plenty parking, friendly staff, good location on outskirts of the city so it’s nice and peaceful.

GGuest UserLovely old insurance building with impressive stained glass in the grand staircase windows. Excellent open private parking, shared with Ibis. Use intercom at gate at 22 Rue Erpell behind hotel and they will open it. Initial corner Privilege room 315 was 28C in May heatwave and aircon had no effect despite technician’s efforts. However the lovely staff found another much cooler Privilege room 323, which was fine, if a bit dark. Room decoration drab, with no pictures on the walls, but good bed, plenty of storage and nice bathroom with bath/shower. Big TV, but no channels in English. Good WiFi. Good breakfast selection , but limited dinner menu and wine list in soulless restaurant with average food and sketchy service. Staff generally delightful, particularly at Reception. A fairly easy walk to the main square and the lovely old town and cathedral.

Receptionist was extremely rude, refused to allow a 25min earlier check in and forced me another guest to wait inside in 30 degree heat and humidity. I was told I “may not wait in the bank when it is closed so why would I believe I could wait in a hotel when it is closed”. This occurred during an event attended by 325 000 people - one would assume flexibility by staff as guests arrive from all around the world. Amenities were basic: no hairdryer, no USB ports to charge devices, no mirror in the room suitable for hair and makeup other than in the bathroom, towels were threadbare and randomly given 1 or 2, sheets are not changed daily under the guise and convenient excuse of being “environmentally conscious”. Breakfast is all processed food and beverages with no healthy options of whole foods. An altogether unpleasant stay. The receptionist set the tone for an unwelcome environment.
