ibis le Mans Centre Gare Nord 3 stars

Do not go to this Ibis. We arrived late evening off the ferry. Large groups of immigrants congregate outside making it feel very unsafe. There is no parking - even tho website says there is. Only street parking which also does not feel safe to leave the car full of our belongings. We actually left and cancelled online as we didn’t feel safe with our young child in this area. Also it is a restricted driving area where you need a pass to drive here which we also didn’t know. Much better options further out of the city centre which is where we ended up.

Great hotel hotel, great, clean rooms, great service. The location is not ideal near the station as it wasn't very busy on a Saturday night and there were some people loitering around. Still, we were safe. It's also a 25mim walk into the historic part of the town but there's a bus that can take you there although we didn't try it.

Nice hotel. Stayed one night. Parking on the street was fine and a garage is available across the street. AC and shower was good too. Very comfortable

Booked this hotel on 12th may 2024 for next years le mans 24 hour race 1 room, 2 single beds, breakfast, no problems booking everything went through, reasonable price too. Got an e mail on 21st june saying booking had been cancelled , no reason given, I e- mailed alcor who seem to do ibis,s bookings, they got in touch with the hotel who came up with a blatent lie saying bookings wernt on the system. Both myself and alcor have emailed the hotel but arnt getting a reply..... Now I know rightly what this lot are up to as the 24 hour race wasnt actually confirmed til last week....clearly this hotel has given no thought to peoples travel plans and how these will then go pear shaped... The air was initally blue but I now calmed now and we,ve got a nice wee air b and b.. I notice that a manager from the hotel normally responds to bad reviews, well dont bother Sir as we will call in next June and you can explain yourself in person!!! and you can weasel your way out of it. ps i,ll update next june of his /her response

The hotel is in a great location with the railway station opposite and the main town only a 10 minute walk away. There is parking on site but only for about 2 or 3 cars so best to book in advance, it costs 15 euros. All of the staff were helpful and check in was fast. The rooms were of a good size for a family of 3, it was extremely clean and the beds were comfortable. The bar is reasonable prices. We have booked to return for a night to break our journey up on the way back through France.

Allocated room 502 which had a dirty stained carpet. Reception changed room to 510 which was not much better with chipped furniture and dusty. At breakfast the staff failed to acknowledge the guests and some mornings either no plates or cutlery were available. No tongs were provided and food from the buffet had to be taken by folk. A moldy peach was in the fruit basket for at least two days. When checking out I made Reception aware of the above comments advising that I had never come across such poor standards before in an IBIS hotel. I made my email address available to the hotel should the management want any further details but to date I've heard nothing from them.
