メルキュールモンサンミッシェル 4 つ星

4* tourist hotel conveniently situated within walking distance (40 mins) of Mont St Michel, amongst some other hotels. There is a free shuttle to and from the Mont all day. French day visitors use the coach/car park and quickly fill up the shuttle. The parking system is far too complicated and results in queues to exit and pay. Most people stay 1 or 2 nights whilst visiting the Mont which allows early morning or late evening access without the crowds.

We enjoyed staying at the Hotel Mercure Mont-Saint-Michel as it allowed us to walk or take a shuttle to Mont Saint Michel and the nearby area for sunset and sunrise. We found the area very quiet in the evening as most tourists had left. For dinner, there were limited options so we ate at the hotel’s restaurant. As expected, the restaurant was decent, but we would likely have gone elsewhere if there had been more options. Our room in the hotel was in line with a mass tourist location. It was relatively newly furnished, comfortable and quiet. The staff at the hotel were friendly. The hotel was nothing to get excited about, but seemed to fit in with the other properties on the main road near the causeway. There may be more charming places that are further from Mont Saint Michel. We would have no problem staying there again or recommending others stay there.

Location and size of room were very good. The customer service was lacking. We were woken up early by beating drums and screaming men on bullhorns. We decided we had no choice but to get up as there was no sleeping through the noise. When we checked out, we asked what the “club like sound” was about and were told it was for a triathalon. It would have been nice to be warned ahead of time. We would have found a different hotel in the area.

Great Hotel in a great location. Big room and big bathroom with a nice view over parkland. We didn’t have breakfast as this is another Accor that only gives 1 welcome drink so we spend our money elsewhere. Staff were friendly and helpful and cold water machine in hallway. We would not stay at this hotel again as you have to sit in reception area to get wi-fi, not good enough for a 4 star hotel

This is hard review to write - trying to be fair. The good part - The location can’t be beat. Lots of easy parking, bus drop off right across the street. The bad part - We tried booking direct and it was sold out. Then booked off Sam’s Club site and got a room. (We were told at the hotel) because we used Sam’s they couldn’t email us, and tell us to get there you needed a pass code number to reach the hotel. We we drive along and come to a gate. Now what? So we awkwardly backed up and found a place to park and called. And called and called the hotel. We actually borrowed a phone from a nice French woman nearby and she couldn’t’ get through. Finally we got somebody to answer the phone and found out about the code. (It’s about $10 to park too in case you didn’t know). We asked at the front desk and in frankly our only rude interaction with french people in ten days, that because we used an agency, you just have to call for a code. Crazy Then when we returned from an afternoon we found out their restaurant doesn’t open until 7:00 (ok, that’s not unusual here) but then at 7:00 we were told they were sold out, and maybe at 8:30 or 9:00 we could get in. Both this restaurant and the only other nearby (across street) were sold out with mostly tour busses. Wouldn’t you think a hotel that has a restaurant would advise of this at check in, and better yet OFFER you a meal time, since you are staying there? Our room included breakfast at the before mentioned restaurant. It offered the lowest quality food we experienced out entire 10 days in France. E.g. they had two coffee machines, one broken, and the second broke down while we were there. Nobody understood or tried to communicate to us English speakers. We tried French, but we aren’t fluent and we just couldn’t communicate. We left hungry and disappointed. The rooms are large but the atmosphere is like a prison; very stark, not decor to speak of and everything bolted down. Unfortunately in a high demand tourist area, this is what you sometimes get. Just know to make dinner plans very early, call for a code days before you get there and be ready to carry your suitcases up the stairs, because there are no elevator/lifts in the hotel. And bring your mosquito spray, the nights are horrid with mosquitos in the summer. Also, since you are one of the last pick-up spots on the bus, we saw during busy times the bus arrive already stuffed with tourists. It’s a short walk out to the island, and probably easier during busy times.
