Four friends on 4 motorcycles stayed at the Hotel which is on the outskirts of the Town Centre. 
Situated on a busy road junction, it had ample parking for our purposes. We were on the final
Leg of our trip and it was ideally situated for our stopover for our ferry from Caen. 
Good value for money; however (A good Tip) you should request a room at the rear if the hotel to avoid traffic noise from the busy junction. 
Rooms, clean and basic and did what was required - functional. 
The hotel receptionist/manager was extremely friendly.
Our stay included an evening meal which is in the form of a voucher to be used at an Italian restaurant about half a mile away. We were pleasantly surprised, as it was a new restaurant that offered us a special meal deal - we all had Main Course and Dessert accompanied with a drink, two of us had wine whilst the others had soft drinks. Two of us had pasta bolognaise whilst the other two had very nice pizza with generous toppings. The food was very nice indeed. 
The following morning we were served a Typical French basic breakfast which was very good and truly served its purpose.

Good place to stay en route to Caen Ferry

Find a cave or sleep in your car I have never experienced a room like this room 15 I have photographs to prove what I am saying to be true .It was virtually impossible to use the toilet also I have photographs the inspector of Contact hotels must have missed room 15  because he would not sign off on this hotel.They say in there brochure there is parking facilities for free what they don't tell you is you must have the driving skills of a formula 1 ace.Never again,and to think he could charge 59.70 euro for the experience.

The room from hell

On probably the hots day of August 2017, we arrived.
The bedroom was very small and very hot, and no air-conditioning !!

It is a value for money hotel, the car park small, the walls thin, the breakfast is filling.

Others have said it, its a good stop over, heading north or south, but not one I will do again.

Reasonable close to town, one thing about Alencon, is that most places shut by 8pm, so if you arrive late and look for somewhere to eat you could have problems.

Good or Average its a value place to stop

Good location and a great stopping place enroute to/ from Calais. Hotel is clean, good value for money and staff friendly. As many have written, the car park is small but functional and the walls are thin. Overall though, this is good value for the price, perfect for a stop over but not recommended as a venue for a special occasion. 

Does what is says in the tin 

Small and friendly, clean and basic. Good showers, continental breakfast if you want it, at whatever time you want, and great service. Only 10 mins walk into town.  Parking is tight so we reversed in and it was fine. Def stay here again - makes a nice change to the big brand hotels.

Great stop-over if driving from Calais

Decided to book this hotel after realizing that a 500 mile drive in a day was doing the hard yards.
Arrived at about 3pm with the Hotel closed and no answer when we rang the bell. Within minutes the Owner/manager came around the corner to let us in. I suppose as a stop over hotel most of the guests arrive late in the day and are gone first thing in the morning so we were probably a bit early.
We were efficiently booked in by the manager who spoke English (better than my French) and personally taken to our room.
Room was basic, no tea/coffee facilities but the bathroom/toilet was adequate.
The room lacked air conditioning which is probably not a necessity for most of the year but with the temperature in the 30's on the day we arrived would have been a welcome addition.
Some posters mention the proximity to a traffic light controlled road junction, we were in room 14 which was furthest away from the road and experienced no problems even when we had the bedroom window open.
There is a nicely landscaped garden but as it is adjacent to the road junction is not the most pleasant place to have a drink (The hotel serves bottled drinks) a bit of hedging would improve this aspect.
Parking skills are tested to the full and I can imagine there are a few arguments when an early riser wants to be on their way finding they are blocked in by someone who enjoys their sleep. Having said that we parked in a bay furthest from the exit and had no problems (VW Golf)
Alencon is one of the many towns you bypass on the way to your final destination but is worth a look round. a word of warning though, we used TA ratings to pick restaurants. One was closed for the holidays!!! and the other 2 were fully booked.
