This hotel won't win any prizes for external appearance, nor really for the rather drab internal décor, or location. However, when I stayed with my two brothers for our visit to the D-Day landing beaches,it was well appointed and clean, and the staff were all very friendly, in particular the manageress of the restaurant at breakfast. The breakfast itself was very good: freshly squeezed orange juice as well as the standard type; fresh fruit salad; grilled sausages and bacon to go with the scrambled eggs; Nespresso coffee machine as well as the standard filter variety; and a good selection of cereals, cheeses, charcuterie, cakes, breads and croissants etc. All in all, a very good selection in a very pleasant restaurant. Although the location of the hotel was not great (in a commercial area on the outskirts of Caen), it was ideal for getting onto the ring road by car, and there was a tram stop two minutes away giving a good, cheap service into the city centre (once you master the intricacies of the ticket machine: we had to ask a local for help!). I would definitely stay here again if in the area.
