ibis Niort Marais Poitevin

Pros: Clean convenient location and friendly staff along with good simple meal in the restaurant

Cons: No noise insulation between rooms I could hear all phone conversations made by neighbouring rooms

Pros: Staff were very friendly and apologetic for the hotel's failings. Reasonably good breakfast.

Cons: First room we were offered smelt strongly of cigar smoke. we were given a second room where the air con didn't work. Kitchen was so short of food that the staff were suggesting we went elsewhere...
