ibis Bordeaux Centre Meriadeck
The room was clean a bit small being a family room and staff was nice. However the room was super hot, we even had to leave the window open. The receptionist told us they couldn't put AC, but at least gave us a small fan for the room. Aside from that everything was okay.
