Hôtel & Résidence Avermes

Location was great for our travels to and from Spain. No charge for dogs and lovely grass for them to explore. Excellent parking near bedrooms. The size of room was good and ensuite modern and excellent shower. Remember your own towels.

The room was very cold at night. We had asked for extra blankets as the previous time we were cold in bed. However with temperature outside nearly zero we still woke up at 3.30am cold in bed and realised the heating had been turned off. We ended up sleeping in fleeces and coats to get warm. Not good enough for December temperatures.

It looks run down from the outside, but you get a clean room with a private bathroom en-suite and ample free parking in front of your room. The price is unbeatable: room per night 42 (three beds!). Staff was friendly.

As a solo traveler, I was worried about safety. Nothing happened but you can’t lock the door from inside properly and the carpark is freely accessible. I was relieved when more guests arrived in the second night of my stay.

Nice place to stay overnight when traveling. Reasonably priced, not far from the motorway, all basics are provided. No towels included, but this is what you can get along with for this price. I would recommend it.

From previous reviews I was a little worried but the lady at the front desk was actually pleasant ( must be a new staff member) . We only had an overnight stay on a long trip to Paris so for what we paid it was ok. The room, bathroom and the beds were clean. Admittedly the decor was very dated. We did not plan to have a shower there ( from previous reviews)so I can't talk about those facilities but for an overnight stay on the way to Paris it was very cheap and adequate. There was a clean towel near the shower so we used that as a hand towel to dry our hands with after using the bathroom. We left early in the morning so we didn't stay for breakfast ( there is a delicious budget friendly chain of boulangeries called Marie's) down the road so we made a quick pitstop.I suppose all in all the money we saved on accommodation , we used on a nice dinner in Paris. The stay was quiet and adequate and in the same situation where we arrived at about 7 pm and left early I would probably do it again. Size of rooms were as you would expect from a budget accommodation. The mattresses were a firm sponge type so comfortable but tight on space. The parking was right out the front of our door so it was easy to bring in luggage and it was free.

Perhaps we could have used the shower gel to wash our hands at the basin ( there was no soap at the hand basin in the bathroom). I had brought my own soap anyway. Regarding internet services it was difficult to get great signal but again we were there as a quick stop on a long car trip so it wasn't a big deal for us
