We needed an overnight stop in Cherbourg. We normally stay in one of the big, soulless hotels out of town. The Moderna is right in the city centre, close to restaurants, bars and shops. Despite this, it is easily accessed, a short drive from the ferry terminal. The hotel does not have its own car park, but there is plenty of free parking in nearby public car parks, and in the street outside the hotel. The room was comfortable and quiet, with a new bathroom.
