Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“The place is more of a motel than hotel, with all rooms accessed from the exterior and in place there was some decoration needed. However, everything was clean, tidy and well appointed. The staff were friendly though not English speaking and the continental breakfast was very nice, with plenty of variety. It's strongest asset is that it's located in the middle of the pretty town of Arromanche, site of the Mulberry harbour left over from WW2 and has good parking facilities, though we paid a bit extra for this.”
