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.

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.

Family travelling stayed at Novotel as a stopover. Staff all friendly and helpful. Games available for children. Ate in Restaurant all staff friendly and food was nice Kids menu was 12 euro chose a main and a side eg fried egg, fish, then chips , mash etc and dessert. My youngest is fussier and struggled to find something to eat, so he had some chips and bits from our plate . Chips were 5 euros. Pool putside with sunbeds but water was very cold. Small outside playarea. Rooms comfortable and clean.

The hotel was a great location for a stop off on our journey through France. The hotel was well situated close to the motorway but there was a tram stop right outside which means you can take a short ride into the city. The hotel was quiet with a lovely park area at the back with sports facilities. The hotel itself has a lovely outdoor area with bar, play area and small pool. The breakfast was good value- €19 and children were free.
