ibis Styles Bourbon Lancy 3 stars

We arrived on bikes and had a nice welcome and a warm room.

Pungent smell of disinfectant in room which dispersed gradually during stay. Otherwise clean and comfortable

Great location, clean and comfortable, good food. I have stayed with Ibis before (budget), found the accommodation awful and said I would never stay at an Ibis again. I had not realised there was this separate brand which is fantastic, has changed my opinion of Ibis completely, so much so that we later stayed at the Ibis Styles at Vierzon (which has an indoor pool). This particular hotel is next to a lake, teaming with wildlife (we spotted an otter and a variety of bird life within 10 mins) the hotel has great views across the lake, and is adjacent to a well appointed childrens play park - our daughter loved it. If travelling in the area again, we would stay without hestitation.

Friendly personnel, very nice location by the lake, nice rooms with very comfortable beds, and very nice to have a machine available to freshly squeeze your own orange juice. Only minus point was the fact that we didn't get communicating rooms, as we had expected/hoped.

shower dangerous. no non-slip floor. only towels for one at first. I asked one rather surly chambermaid and was told "dans le placard". The wardrobe ( placard) whose sliding doors (room 109) are VERY difficult to move contained 2 plastic bags with extra pillows but no towels. On requesting again I was given them by another chamber maid from her trolley. very pleasant sitting outside the room over looking the lake. Very limited storage for non-hanging clothes. Even with twin beds together very tight space between wall on one side and wardrobe/bathroom on other. Thus second bedside shelf also missing.
