Ibis Budget Coutances

The hotel is at the back of an industrial estate and close to the road network,it was quiet with plenty of parking even though it was busy. The room we had was on the ground floor and was tiny,not enough space for two people with luggage. One side of the bed was very close to the wall and didn't have any sockets to charge devices. The bed was okay,but not good for reading. The bathroom was just odd,a shower cubicle with a fixed shower head at the height for a giraffe,water went all over the walls. This shower room opened straight onto the bedroom where there was a dirty looking curtain hanging right next to the narrow bedside. It just doesn't work with the sink open to the bedroom and just one towel each,it was disappointing. The toilet had a cubicle without any sink,it wasn't good. We had to squeeze past the bed to access the toilet etc,it wa very tight. It was VERY basic and with just one pillow each was like a hostel. The AC wasn't working and blew cold air constantly,it wouldn't change temperature. The TV was tiny along with a tiny table and stool,it wasn't comfortable. One four separate occasions our key card failed and each time we got a different excuse! Breakfast was provided in a small room with some sharing tables and a few other tables. We tried to manage this by going early but it wasn't anything like we expected and received in other Ibis hotels. It was a few cold items ony, with only a few put out at a time Some contractors were staying at the same time and they quickly decimated this. Staff were slow to refill,and the next morning a coach party were in at 7am and the same problem occured. Its okay as a pit stop nothing more, there seemed to be a shortage of accommodation in the area and i believe they took advantage of this.
