We booked our hotel thru planigo.com. We originally wanted Hotel de la digue which we found on Rick Steve's France 2007. The planigo told us that the Hotel de la digue was sold out and we can have a room at the Hotel St. Aubert instead. When I checked Tripadvisor, there were 1 positive reivew so we decided to give the hotel a try since we were going to be in Normandy area for the anniversary of D day (June 6) and a lot of hotels were sold out for the day. When we arrived at the hotel, the rooms ( we had 2 rooms) were located at the ground floor, smelly and damp. They were small which is not unusual for French hotel room. But the bathroom was reeking smell, dirty and looked like they haven't been painted for long time. We requested to change the room but were flatly refused. The front desk person told us that the rooms were all booked and weren't any rooms available for us even though the parking lot was empty but for 2 or 3 cars. In the morning the breakfast was very forgettable. The restaurant was dirty and flies were everywhere. We only saw 10 people in total at the breakfast so we were wondering where all the hotel customers were. We saw other hotels next to Hotel St aubert, Hotel Vert looked very clean and nice and the room price (they posted outside) was half of what we paid. Matter of fact all other hotels in the causeway looked better than this one. I will never patronize neither Planigo.com nor this hotel in the future.

We were passing the restaurant, and decided to pop in. Their were 2 families in total. The meal was quite well priced (the drinks were very expensive, which i suppose is where they make thier money and we actually felt cheated into being their).

Worst service we have ever received in France. It was so bad that we actually left halfway through the meal. When we tried to get some money back off the 'set menu' because we hadn;t hung round long enough for the desert, we were fobbed off with excuse after excuse.

My explanation? It was a sunny easter weekend and they just didn;t have the staff to cope wit the number of visiters.

Picked this hotel because of the location. Wanted to be near but not on site (didn't want to fight luggage on the ramparts, etc)
We spent 2 nites here and found it small but very efficient. Liked the large bathroom, but would have liked a shower. Room was on the parking lot side and very noisy, but then quieted down in evening. (avoid even #'d rooms if you are a lite sleeper)
Check in and breakfast was in restaurant across the parking lot. This would have not been a good thing if it had been raining. Choice was great for a cold buffet (croissants, baguettes, cereal, yoghurt, various applesauces).
We also ate dinner one night and enjoyed the 'special'.

After wandering through the Normandy D-day sites, we were delighted to find warm staff and wonderful food at the adjoining restaurant of this hotel. We felt doted upon and were refreshed. This hotel is a short drive down the road from the abbey town of Mont St. Michel. This proximity provided us with a quick start the next morning arriving at the medieval town before most other tourists. Lovely!
