Overrated.
Not sure how it earned such a high rating. Two adults and a teenager could barely manoeuvre around the beds. Restaurant was very ordinary.

Nous vous remercions pour votre séjour et vos appréciations. Nous sommes ravies que vous ayez passé un bon moment à l’Hôtel le Sainte Mère. Au plaisir de vous accueillir lors d’un prochain séjour.
A French speaking hotel, friendly staff, good selection of food available for both evening meal and breakfast. Our room was facing the main road, and this was a 24-hour main road so there was traffic noise throughout the night.
A short walk from Sainte-Mere-Eglise.
The hotel is really close to the autoroute, so its good for a short stop for getting the ferry. The room is nice and clean. Breakfast and dinner are good but expensive. Unfortunately no vegetarien option for dinner.

Good hotel close to St. Mere Eglise city center
Decent hotel just outside the city center.
Nice big rooms with good bed but still a little basic.
Bathroom was having a tub which was nice.
Lot of parking space on the spot and friendly staff.
Daily menu in the restaurant is good in price and quality.

Lots of fire alarms
I reserved for two nights but left after the first one. First there is no air conditioner. They suggested leaving window open. It rained all night getting everything near the window wet. The fire alarms went off 3 times in the night which didn't help trying to sleep in a hot and humid room. Only reason i did not.leave afternthe first fire alarm was i was too tired to drive anywhere. Maybe got 2 hours of actual sleep that night. Reserved a different hotel at 3 am since i was already awake.

It's a fact that we all spent an horrible night this day ... We are not responsible and are really sorry about that. But it's definitively not representative of the confort and of the atmosphere of our hôtel. We hope to have the possibility to receive you again.
Best regards.
We booked this hotel per other people's reviews since we planned to be out all day. I was very impressed with my clean room, loved the electrical blinds to block the Sun since it doesn't get dark in France until 10:30 Pm. I had the garden room so enjoyed looking at the horses and back yard. Breakfast was not included in the price and paid 10.50 Euros and had an European Style breakfast which it was great. I'll go back there.
Pros: great location and awesome staff. The staff is helpful and provided excellent information for our trip sightseeing.
Cons: No AC, mosquitoes and other bugs fly in when you open the window to let air in. Breakfast is okay but there were no hot dishes.
First impression was an overwhelming stench of cigarette smoke followed by a dreary and drab dated lobby and hallways with non-operational lights. Only emergency lighting was on in the halls throughout our stay. The room had no amenities, no toiletries, and no walkable restaurants or anything worthwhile. The sheets had a blood stain and the shower head would not stay in the upright position. You literally have to hold the shower head to take a shower and the toilet paper is such that you find in a rest stop bathroom. This IS NOT A 3 STAR hotel. VERY DISGUSTED AND DISAPPOINTED. Worst hotel stay from Hotels.com ever.

Hello
We're sorry that your stay was not entirely to your liking.
The smoking area is right at the entrance of the building and it is possible that the doors were left open because of COVID, the smell entered the hall and we are sorry.
However we are surprised that you didn't tell us about the stains in your bed at the reception desk or about your shower problem. Cleanliness being a priority which is usually well recognized in our house, we couldn't let this pass and we would have changed your room immediately. Concerning the reception products, they are available at the reception desk. Indeed we limit the number of reception products in the rooms because of the covid. The products in the rooms that have not been used must be thrown away, as they are labelled green key, we limit waste. Concerning the restaurant, this one is open on reservation before 6pm as we cannot provide our usual buffet based menus.
We hope that you will have the opportunity to come back and get a better opinion of our establishment.
Best regards

Nice hotel that would be excellent if you are visiting the museum. I was there just for work. Rooms were quite comfortable and beds comfortable and clean. Breakfast standard style continental and included. Pleasant stay all round. Be a very expensive though! £8 for a 500ml - ouch!

convenient, friendly staff. lovely breakfast. great parking. 2 mins from st mere eglise
I really enjoyed staying here very much. Staff was friendly and very personable. The only fault was the Wifi. It may have been the worst of any hotel I have stayed at. It wouldn't stay on more than a couple hours at a time when it would shut off saying " you are not protected " or something like that. The hotel A Plus! Wifi C minus!
The immediate reaction when walking into the lobby was this place stinks. But you get use to it. Also, they lock you in at night. Discovered that when I had to go to my car late at night and the front door was locked. Presumably for security, but not for fire codes and safety. I promptly told my Dad not to use the front door for and emergency. Very dangerous.
Stayed here for some of the D-day celebrations. We liked this place very much. Simple but very nice. Very easy walk to middle of Sainte-Mere-Eglise. Food is good, and the staff is very friendly and helpful.
Very friendly and efficient staff to book in. Room clean and though basic has all you want. Booking out equally good. Plenty of parking and close to WW2 sites and museum.
Excellent hotel, evening staff went over and above to ensure that we were comfortable understood the dinner menu procedure, which the dinner meal was excellent and felt home cooked. Perfect location for a home base while touring around the D-Day landings in Normandy area.
This 40 room hotel is just off of A13 just outside of town. It is a 3 star hotel that serves good food. Our room was contemporary, quiet and clean. We had some issues with the staff over dinner, but this is one of the better value hotels in Normandy.
The Hotel Le Sainte Mere was only for 1 night so we could be available early in the morning for a WWII tour we had arranged. The hotel is directly off the main highway so very convenience when traveling. Arrived late and the restaurant was finished for the night, but had a nice drink in the bar. The room is modest, but clean and the bed very comfortable. Extremely quiet for being so close to a highway. Breakfast was wondefuf! Well worth the cost which was modest. Parking was free and Internet was good. Basically, a great basic hotel. Not a destination, but highly serviceable.

Okay stay
We stayed here for one night, comfortable to sleep and take a shower. But, the toilet smelled of urine which faintly wafted into the room. We couldn't find the source of it but closing the toilet doors helped.
Overall, I didn't expect much of this hotel. If you could find some place better to stay, go for it. But, if you're staying for just one night, I guess you could risk it.
This hotel was too new for our sat nav, The roads around were 'off piste' but we found it eventually.
The rooms are clean and comfortable. The village is a 20min walk away and we chose to eat in the hotel. The food was good as was breakfast the following morning.
St Mere Eglise is, of course, the place to visit for the American parachutists of D Day. There is a parachutist hanging from the church spire still and there are museums a plenty together with excellent information boards around the village with before and after photos.
The location of the hotel is very convenient, close to the motorway and only a few minutes walking distances form the center of the village.
The hotel is generally well designed and functional.
Minor points:
-The quality of the restaurent (dinner) is not great. The kitchen cannot handle a number of visitors. Meat dished were not good.
-Reception and bar service closes at 10h50 pm.
Lovely breakfast with good variety and lots of coffee! Fresh bread. enjoyed 2 nights. Good for d day locations. Free parking
Small but clean rooms
Normal small towels, bring your own face wipes to europe
Internet intermittent but free
Can walk to the village easily
A nice small hotel able to provide personal attention - this is a rare thing now days but it is achieved at this hotel. A nice short walk right into town too. I would HIGHLY recommend this hotel! Victor, thanks for helping to care for us! :)
Not a lot of options in Sainte Mere Eglise but this hotel is more than adequate. Staff generally speaks English and are nice and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful and fresh. All in all a great no frills hotel.
Good, clean hotel with very comfortable bed - and a bath!!!! Great restaurant on the premises, too. Would have liked tea/coffee making facilities, though

Hotel in need of a refresh, starting to look dated, but overall a very pleasant stay. Staff were friendly, room was clean and tidy. Only issue was room was too hot, had to sleep with window fully open
