The hotel is very eco-conscious and minimalist, if that's your cup of tea. If you're looking for Hilton-esque grandeur and amenities, this will not work for you. Since my family was just looking for a decent sized rest stop during our road trip through Normandy, this proved quite sufficient, considering each stay also comes with dinner and breakfast at the restaurant owned by the same establishment. The motel is quite dated, and most workers are divided in between the hotel and the restaurant during work hours. You can't really check in until around 3 pm, and the shuttered desk will remind you of that fact with a sign in both French and English. The rooms are quite sparse but clean with a large window, decent-sized flat screen TV, small closet, medium-sized bathroom, and compact writing area. The best feature I enjoyed was the towel dryer, which you can double as both a bathroom heater and clothes dryer.
Since you'll probably be milling about most of the day trekking to Le Mont Saint Michel, I would say this is a sufficient enough choice for a stay. Just make sure to lock your window before you head out as they have no screens. Similar to many other hotels in the area, no A/C, so make sure you plan your travels accordingly.
Another tip: if you don't ask for the complimentary menu at dinner, they'll give you the regular, more pricey menu. Make sure you explicitly ask for the one given to guests of Saint Aubert.
Really beautiful walk towards Saint Michel, but if you'd rather catch a navette (trolley-ish bus), you can do so for free just a few steps away from the door. read more
