Premiere Classe Hotels in Evreux

We needed accommodation for 2 nights at Evreux and chose Premiere Classe as the description made it sound like the UK's Premier Inns or Travelodges AND the price included breakfast. At around 50 euro per night it wasn't cheap but so-so. The room we were given on the first night was just awful. The heater was falling off the wall - as was the paint! The floor lino was grotty and worn. The shower didn't fit (was coming away from the wall) and leaked over the floor. The door lock was damaged and didn't even look secure. The room fittings were damaged and certainly unhygenic. Our first night stay was dreadful. On top of the c**p room, there was a group of other visitors who had no respect for other residents - staying up until nearly 3am making a lot of noise outside - including allowing their sprogs to run around yelling and bawling. There were no hotel staff around to tell them to be quiet. After complaining, staff did move us to another room for the second night. Although the decor etc, was only slighty better, the room was at least quiet so we slept okay. I have complained about this accommodation and have been promised a refund for the first nights stay but TBH, this ”hotel” (really?) should be shut for refurbishment or rebuild (the concrete stairway looks to be suffering from water ingress and rod corrosion). I honestly would not recommend this as a place to stay - and on the basis of this hotel, we will be avoiding ALL Louvre Hotel Group accommodation for the foreseeable future. Just a final point though. The bedding was clean and the breakfast (self-service basic continental-style) was fine. The two staff members we saw (one in the evening and the other mornings) were friendly and helpful.
