The drain in my shower didn’t work and the water flooded the bathroom floor. I had to stop the shower after a few seconds and then wash an arm and a meg at a time. It was frustrating. I think the hotel should discount my stay.

The hotel is fine for people on low budget bus tours, who are happy with mediocre breakfasts, but it lacks any local culture and is located in a boring part of town, but staff were friendly and there was nothing horrible about the place.

Worst hotel experience ever! The room was very dusty and dirty as though no one had stayed in the room for years. Spiders and spider webs at several spots in the room, and I’ve never seen such dirty carpet in a hotel room before. We also had to live with a huge fly in the room for the 2 days. The lime scale on the shower head was terribly yucky although the bathroom and toilet itself was the cleanest spot in the entire room. We had 2 people stayed in the room but only 1 bath towel was provided. There was another bath towel placed in the closet but apparently it was used and dirty. On the morning during checkout time, there was no one at the front desk and we waited for 15 min until someone finally came out, there was obviously a lack of staff as the staff was saying she was the only person managing the front desk, kitchen, and the rooms. She asked me how was my stay and I told her my honest opinion, she was then only giving me a shrug and not so sincere apology. I travel a lot and this was the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed.

Cheap

We had to wait over 5 min before someone came to check us & another guest in, which felt much longer since we had been traveling all day & were tired. The place looked a bit run down, walls needed to be wiped clean in our room, we had to ask for additional pillows, there was no sheet between us & the comforter & there were cobwebs in the room. If you need a place to sleep that is cheap, in more ways than one, this is your place. The location was great.

Good hotel but beware. I prepaid through Expedia but when I checked in they asked for a $67 “deposit” for damages that was supposed to be credited back to my acct. They ended up keeping this money. I have called three times and three times I’ve been told by Phil that I would get an email and the cash returned to my card but I haven’t received anything. No email, no refund. Even worse is that I have to pay for the calls from the US to France to try to solve this. Beware!

Rain style shower, very nice bathroom and seperate toilet (little high off the ground for me, really did feel like a throne!!) The bed was big and very comfy although there was only 1 pillow each, we had brought our own as we were going camping after Normandy. The restaurant next door was great (little expensive but so convenient) and my boyfriend said that his duck was cooked spot on.

The hotel has a large, free parking lot and easy access to the main road to Bayeux and the D-Day beaches. It is less than 3 miles from downtown Caen. The rooms are clean and new, but minimalist. No safe, no refrigerator, no microwave. There is a hot pot for tea and coffee. A large screen TV with a nice selection of channels and free, fast WiFi. We spent a very enjoyable four nights here.

A friendly welcome from the lady on the reception desk who spoke perfect English was a pleasant relief after a very long journey.
The room was clean, bed huge and comfy and a large tv with a few English channels.
The shower was good with plenty of hot water.
Storage for hanging clothes was minimal, but fine for a couple of nights.
The breakfast was rudimentary at best, so I would recommend visiting the restaurant next door if it is open for breakfast.
We had our evening meal there and it was fine, with a 10% discount from the hotel
