Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests often appreciate the Novotel Le Mans for its spacious and well-equipped rooms, many featuring Nespresso machines. The hotel's location provides convenient access to the city center via the nearby tram, and there's a pleasant area for walks along the river. Many find the on-site restaurant convenient, though some have found the 'Demi Pension' menu limiting. the pool is a popular amenity, especially for families, and ample parking adds to the ease of staying here.

i found a few things amiss. the staircase was pretty rough. a terrible stench filled the air, like some public toilet. the restaurant breakfast costs 19 euros per person, and i was not impressed with the number of plates. the staff needs to bring some more plates.

the large rooms accommodated my family of four easily. the pool provided a great way for everyone to cool off and relax after a long drive. the restaurant served food that was more than acceptable, and breakfast included many choices for all tastes. the front desk staff professionally addressed a billing issue quickly

the staircase had an unpleasant odor, i believe due to stained carpets and strong perfume. the elevator was out of service, so i had to use this staircase
