We got off a train when it was dark and just walked across the road to this hotel. Our room had a very big bed (we had a great sleep) and a fold out sofa for our daughter. It was a nice sized room, but there is not a lot of space with the sofa bed folded out. The bathroom was also a nice size with a shower over the bath and more than enough room to allow for helping children get dried and dressed. We didn't have a desk, but didn't need one. What we did have was a hallway - due to how our room fitted in with the other rooms - which was great for our overflowing suitcases.
Our room was more expensive than the price shown on this site, but it did include breakfast and we didn't have to pay for using their internet (a single computer in the lobby). I really liked the lobby space, with its lounge chairs.
I thought Nancy was lovely, but we found very little tourist information - barely a postcard! Probably quite refreshing if you've just been in a very touristy area. We stumbled across a little "zoo" in a park (Pepiniere Park). Nothing special, but if you have children they will enjoy it. There is a playground there as well and other entertainment (which was closed for winter).

This building is an eyesore just next to the station. Smoked glass windows that don't open and bright orange paint on the walls means that it is somewhat dated but we asked for a twin, no smoking room with a child bed, ironing board and trouser press and it was all there when we arrived. The staff were very obliging with whatever request we made and were very courteous. It is a very handy location next to the station and a short walk from the Place Stan.

please think before you book'!!!!

You were recently fortunate to have the custom of the students from the Halsbury work experience group.
I am appalled at such low standards you provided for these young people with regard to the meal service during their stay. The contract was to include breakfast and evening meal .This contract was not fulfilled.
A single bowl of fruit is not sufficient for over forty young adults. It would have taken no effort with minimal cost to provide sufficient fruit with some cereals and milk to start their long day.
Non meat eating students where subject to atrocious alternative food. A plate of vegetables does not constitute a meal; neither does a plate of cheese.
The students were forced to go out after their meal to purchase snacks to fill themselves up. . Utterly disgraceful.
In these times it is not difficult to provide an adequate menu at reasonable cost to yourselves .Have you ever tried cooking pasta ?It is not very complicated.
Do you not realize in failing to provide just a basic standard your hotels inadequacies will be highlighted on every travel web site on the Internet. The schools and colleges will be informed of the situation to ensure no future bookings will be made at your hotel.
Bad business. You should be ashamed.

For the first time, Tripadvisor let me down! I don't know how this could be the #1 hotel in Nancy.
My new husband and I stayed at a half dozen hotels on our recent trip to France. The Park Inn was the most expensive and worst by far!
Everything was gross! Lobby is a depressing early '90s time warp and everything in our room was filthy. The carpet was so dirty that I wouldn't walk on it in bare feet; shower curtain had mildew; even the curtain sheers were stained! Our mini bar key also didn't work, and when I told the front desk they had no response about it.
If you are a business traveller I don't know how you work at the 'desk' in the room. It is more of a make-up table with a stool (ours had a hole in it), and mirror behind to complete it!
I would never recommend this property to anyone!
