On arriving at the hotel we were met by a pleasant, clean and modern looking chalet style building. The male receptionist was very welcoming and very pleasant. We were sent back outside and round the corner to a set of motel buildings (two storey) which were at the back of a very noisy junior school playground.
Opening the door we were taken aback at the dingy appearance. A sticky, dirty, cigarette burned wooden floor, a double bed which took up more than half the room, a strange bathroom with a child size bath, thin cheap towels , a broken lamp fitting above the bed, a hanging space with three plastic hangers, and the third bed was a roll away two inches away from the dirty floor.
It was so bad we left the room and checked in to the All Seasons hotel in Roubaix at an additional cost of £300.
We appreciate the Campanile chain is on the low end of the hotel market, however, we had paid £155.00 for two nights room only. I would not have paid £55.00 for the room it was so awful.
The area of Roubaix is not the best impression of France or Lille for that matter. Nowhere seemed to be open in the evening, and to be honest it felt unsafe to be walking around there. We will definitely not be returning to either any Campanile hotel, or the Roubaix area. We had another Campanile hotel booked for Dijon, which I cancelled immediately.
Do not be fooled either by my photographs, the room looks decidedly better when lit by flash.
There's cheap and there's cheap, and this is both cheap and unpleasant- certainly not suitable for families.

Stayed here for two nights to watch Paris-Roubaix. Event management and other official Paris-Roubaix groups were staying here, so we made the right decision. We got a killer rate of 62 euros per night. For the price and location for watching this race, it exceeded our expectations. This is basically like a Travelodge – not quite Hilton Garden Inn quality, but a clean, value stopover. You enter the rooms from the parking lot/side of the building, like a typical U.S. motel. No elevators that we could find, so if you have a lot of luggage, ask for the ground floor/zero. Room was tidy, tea service, desk with two chairs, pillows were decent. The big bonus – free WiFi!!! We slept well. Not too loud. An easy drive from here to stages 4 and 5 of the cobblestones at Paris-Roubaix. Check-in was a breeze, and the lady who runs the registration desk, bar and restaurant is very nice and an impressive multitasker. She speaks good English. My only advice: if you decide to eat in the restaurant, get the buffet. The food is good, and the cheeses and desserts are great. Don’t order the risotto off the menu. It was a ball of typical, bland steamed rice. Good wine list and prices. They were actually serving dinner on a Sunday night (rare in France), so we were thrilled to find anywhere to eat.

This is a pleasant, modern hotel just a short distance from the Grand Place. Rooms are equipped nicely and there is a restaurant attached to the property. The Grande Rue, Espace shopping center, and place de la Liberte are right around the corner. The museum La Piscine is walking distance.

My only complaint is that the rooms have hardwood floors so that you can hear anyone above you who is in heels.

Note that the city of Roubaix rents bicycles for only 1 euro a day. They can be had right in the parking lot of the Espace shopping center.
