Probably

I was somehow surprised that was not able to add my stay to my Accor account as my booking had been done via a travel agent... Good way to gain fidelity to customers...

Carpark is nextdoor, but no direct entrance to the hotel...

MERCURE MONT SAINT MICHEL

The Mercure Mont St. Michel Hotel is, as you can tell from its name, near the Mont St Michel, in Brittany or Normandy... I believe it is just in the limit between both. Of course, if you are in the region, it is a must to visit the Abbey. Some people prefer to stay over in the mount, but hotels tend to be rather more pricy. When you see that Mercure has a hotel in the area (not in the mount, but just across the water, then you say... Fantastic!

But fantasy finishes there. The hotel is, however, rather basic for similar Mercure hotels. It's ok but lacks little details... It's clean; it's spacious... but... I don't know... It is not a Mercure. Bathroom is really small. A single bottle of soap and shampoo and little towels!!! We were given a double bedroom in the Annex building, which one thinks it will be more modern. There was no lift to it... so, luggage needed to be pulled upstairs... Thank god the room was quiet and the bed comfy.

The car park is free, strange for this type of hotels, especially in a tourist area. Prices of the minibar, I am not sure, but I guess they were expensive. Just opposite, you can find a supermarket open till 20.00 if I remember well, that has a wide offer, for a fraction of the price... Also, restaurants are available around the hotel, but I guess they will all be as good or as bad as each other.

Breakfast is about 8.50 for a buffet breakfast in the restaurant. Not bad breakfast, but... not excellent.

Overall, the stay was good. Nothing exciting but fine. Nothing to complain about, but nothing to boast about... one of those stays that leaves you... indifferent.

However, if you stay there, there is a must. Walk from the hotel to the abbey at dusk. Beautiful.
