Novotel Le Mans

The staff were excellent. They notified us of a valuable item we left behind by accident, and posted it for us as we'd already hit the halfway mark back to Calais. All arrived, well protected and fast. Many thanks :) We arrived at breakfast towards the end of the slot and sometimes the hot options were running low. They were topped up though, just not immediately. We just waited with a coffee so no real problem. I would have preferred hot pancakes, but the kids enjoyed them! The rooms were roomy and showers nice. We had to have 2 rooms for 2 adults and 3 kids so a family room would be a fab addition but it was excellent value irrespectively. The pool was great with plenty of chairs around it and was open until 9pm so weary travellers can refresh and kids let off steam before bed, after being in the car all day. Lots for kids actually with a play park, gardens and a play area in reception to keep them entertained while you check in. All in all a thoughtfully put together rest stop which we'll definitely use again.

Lovely modern interior decor. Spacious modern room, very large comfortable bed. Modern bathroom, hot strong shower. Lovely pool and outdoor seating, garden area and bar for sundowners. Great, varied food and service in restaurant for dinner and breakfast. Friendly welcoming reception staff. Couldn't fault it one bit,.not sure how people could have any complaints, especially for the bargain price.

Location is perfect, the staff is friendly, the breakfast was good.

The property is clean, the rooms were large enough for a family of four; convenient for motorway en route to the South of France and the piece de resistance for our children (and adults) a pool to cool off in and relax in. Obviously this may not be a destination where you would spend a whole holiday, but for a pitstop it is absolutely brilliant. The food was more than acceptable in the restaurant too and breakfast had something for everyone.

Receptionist was really friendly, reception area interesting, modern, clean, breakfast area was great and the breakfast itself was thoroughly enjoyable. Rooms were great. Being seconds from the tram station was great. Le Mans Old Town is beautiful and easy to get to by tram.
