Not impressed at all
Booked this hotel for its closeness to the ferry port at Ouistreham, which we were using for the early morning boat to Portsmouth. The hotel was advertised with a dining room for dinner and since we had a long drive to get there, we were looking forward to a relaxing meal and straight to bed for our early departure. When we arrived we asked if it was neccessary to reserve a table for dinner, only to be told "the restaurant is closed." When we asked why we got the usual Gallic shrug with the statement "it is the end of the season." The result of this was a trawl around to find somewhere we could get dinner which was not acceptable. If the end of the season means the dining room is closed then perhaps it would be better if this hotel closed for the same length of time. Never again.

Review of 9-23-09, 3-day stay
If your interest is the D-Day Invasion Beach area, this hotel is a good choice. Rooms are small, bath very small, but functional, very good breakfast, staff helpful and generally bi-lingual. Compared to other hotel rates in area, this was a good value. Because of small bath space, if you are seriously overweigh, you won’t fit. There were no fees or charges beyond initial booking on Expedia.
Traveller's tip on local attractions
Avis and Hertz car rentals are across the street from the train station. Find the Tourist Info in town center, across from the Cathedral for free maps and info on Caen and area. There is a Carrefour Super market (with deli) and gas station on the round-about before the hotel roundabout. Do see the Military Museum in Bayeau. It has a complete, cronological story of the Normandy Battle, many exhibits, one of the best museums in the area.

Acceptable as a budget hotel
Room very hot during the night could do with Air Con in the room. All very clean but bit of a tight squeeze in the bathroom. Only stayed one night so only ate one meal breakfast where there was a good choice but coffee brewed and not hot.. No drink facility in room
