This was a very enjoyable stay. The hotel is well located close to the harbor and Deauville downtown and 5 minutes from the train station. Deauville and Trouville (the adjoining town) make a very interested destination, both with wonderful sandy beaches.
The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, allowing me to try my limited French and replying in French when it was clear I understood rather than cutting me off in English that some similar hotels can do.
My room was clean with a comfortable bed and the situation was what I had requested: quiet location with a nice view if possible. I liked the coffee/tea making and supplies including butter cookies that were replenished for my second night. The buffet breakfast had many choices and was excellent.
My only reservation (that prevents me giving a full 5/5 score) is that there was no comfortable chair in the room, just a desk chair and stool, plus there was no towel rail in the bathroom, just hooks that my towels easily fell to the floor from.
