"This place is perfect for a stop over while driving through France. The buffet style breakfast is excellent value for money as is the hotel itself. There’s secure parking and you can top up with groceries from the next door supermarket before you hit the road again. Will be looking out for other Ace hotels while traveling in the future."
"Well not the most celubrious.place to stay by a long way but at €32 you get what you pay for. Bed clean, has a fridge and microwave and clean towels. Plenty of hot water. Carpets dirty, AC weak, staff lived in look. Was ok and did the job but no more."
"I paid for an 'upgraded' room. Staff very brusque and I was handed key and told room was not in Manoir but in another building 200 yards away. This building had birds nests and droppings all over entrance. We had to climb 2 flights of stairs to a lofted room that had 2 extra befs in the loft and a small A/C unit incapable of cooling such a room in 37 degree heat. I handed back they key and was refused either a refund or change of room
A nightmare experience!"
"I have to begin this review by saying that I do not understand how it’s possible that this hotel has four stars. It’s simply not in the right class.
The front desk staff were very welcoming and pleasant, the air conditioning in the room was exceptionally good (which was needed during this heatwave), but other than that, the rest of the experience was simply okay.
The hotel is in need of renovation in general (very dated decor), but the worst of it is that the door to the room will not close properly. There was a gap between the door jamb and the door even when the door was closed and locked, resulting in in sound-proofing. It also seems like a security issue to me, and it’s shocking that hotel management allows this to remain in this condition. In addition, the room’s refrigerator smelled like Camembert when I first opened it, and I had to get cleaning staff to clean it out for me. One of the coffee cups had splattered coffee stains on the outside, so I’m not sure how thoroughly the cups are cleaned between guests either. The bottom sheet on the bed had black marks on it, and the mattress sagged and was simply not up to 4-star hotel standards.
This hotel room did have access to a terrace/balcony (the only standard room with this feature), but it was not maintained.
All in all, I had the impression of a hotel hanging on to a 4-star rating that simply doesn’t apply anymore."
Première Classe Poitiers Futuroscope – Chasseneuil
4/10 Poor
"Staff were good. Breakfast was simple, but OK. Room was TINY...bed took up most of it. Desk was dirty...food waste and cup rings. As usual, simple French TV...mostly advertising.
Some noise from adjacent major roadway.
Room is in need of maintenance.
All in all, roof and a bed...no amenities...but, inexpensive."
