ibis budget Lisieux in Lisieux

We had heard good things about Lisieux and were surprised to have to navigate an office park to find the hotel. We were arriving late so had to check in via the kiosk in the foyer. We had never seen such a thing before, always being welcomed by human front desk staff at every other hotel, motel or inn. As 2 women travelers, it was unnerving to use a key pad to enter the room, not a key. There was no safety chain on the inside of the door so anyone else with the pin code could enter our room anytime during the night. My adult daughter used a wedge and some of our personal items and luggage to block the door so we could sleep more at ease. The room was basic and clean. TV and desk are fastened to the wall giving it a prison house feel. Bathroom was very clean but only outfitted with a bathmat and 2 towels. (Many women appreciate 2 towels - one for their head since many have longer hair and one for the body). There was no hand towel. The hotel and surrounding area were quiet overnight. We misunderstood the breakfast time and arrived downstairs 10 mins late so staff had already put up the chairs and told us we could take food on trays to our room and eat there. With minimal furniture in the room, we again felt like prisoners, sitting on a mattress eating off a tray. All in all, I give it a 6 out of 10 for the cleanliness of the room and bathroom but I can't say I'd opt to stay there again.

OK for just a night
It was just about OK. good parking, Location isn't convenient

The hotel did its job but it wasn’t great. We had a small child in our party (4 years old) but the top bunk of the bed said it was not suitable for children under 6, which was problematic. The room wasn’t particularly clean and it all looked a bit tired and in need of a refresh. We stayed in another Ibis Budget in Rouen later in the week and that was much better. We received an email at 2pm saying we could check in from that point but we had to wait until 5pm when the reception was staffed again because the code didn’t work in the check-in machine

The front desk was useless as he doesn’t care when I was lost and requested him to call a cab for me. That was 2 am
And I almost on sleep that night.

Went elsewhere couldnt talk to anyone.
