Pontorson Homestays

We stayed here as part of a group tour. I would never stay here again. Let’s start with the good: Excellent view of Mont St-Michel. About a 25 minutes walk to the base from the hotel. The food at supper was excellent. The choices for the continental breakfast were good. The rooms are very large. The bad: the staff was downright rude. They treated our tour director very badly and were impolite. The weather was very bad and my mom decided not to stay at Mont St-Michel and came back to the hotel around 1:30 pm. She asked if she could have her room earlier than 4 pm. They said hers wasn’t scheduled to be cleaned for a while so she would have to wait. She ended up getting her room at 5 pm, later than many people on our coach! If you have one person in a group tour requesting an early check-in, can’t you just ask your cleaning staff to start with that room??? The cleanliness of the hotel was just passable. Filthy windows in the dining area, bathrooms need help, towels so thin you would have needed 2 to dry off. The tables in the dining room were basically sheets of plywood screwed to table legs. They were so wobbly whenever anyone got up or moved their chairs all the glasses spilt everywhere. The staff was working really hard to serve the food. I felt sorry for them and tried to be patient but you could tell they were disorganized. This hotel was definitely not worth the price they charge. I would stay somewhere else unless they really change the management.

We loved this boutique hotel, a former manor house! There is so much history to the original building, and it is beautifully restored. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Our room had all the modern conveniences (except a mini fridge, which would have been helpful), while retaining old world charm. The hotel is convenient walking distance to several downtown restaurants. Mont St Michel is only a few miles away. Breakfast was mostly continental, but they do offer scrambled eggs and European bacon, and there are many other selections to choose from. Be sure to check out the courtyard, it is charming!

Acknowledging the 2star rating we understood the level of hotel we had booked, but the rooms and facilities available still fell short of expectations. With the hotel being on its own in the location, there is a need for somewhere to buy drinks and some food, otherwise all residents need to travel to Beauvoir. If the restaurant could be reopened even with a more basic offering, this would address the issue. The bedrooms could be improved with the addition of mirrors over the desks/dressing tables. The bedrooms were clean and the buffet breakfast was good.

Feel more like a homestay 1. The boss is a very enthusiastic old man, polite 2. The hotel is at the crossroads, and the parking is on the side of the road. 3. Because it is a hotel where the residence is changed, the room is a bit old, but it doesn’t matter if you experience it once The town where this hotel is located is very small. It is still very convenient to drive to Mont Saint-Michel for about ten kilometers Just stayed for one night, you can make do with it
