Le Clos Normand

I find it hard to give an overall rating to this hotel. My wife tells me to "be positive" so let's start with the positives. There is free parking right outside and the hotel leads directly onto the promenade, as shown in the picture. Vincent, whose English is excellent, gave us a very good welcome and there is a lift to the upper floors. Our sea view room gave us a lovely 'panoramique' view of the ocean and the free wifi worked well. For those interested in WW11 the beach was 'Juno Beach' in the Normandy landings and there are plenty of memorials and reminders of those dark days; there is even a German gun emplacement complete with gun on the promenade. However; the room was quite small and was so simply furnished and decorated as to be austere; it felt like a student flat. The wardrobe was fitted with folding doors that were not of the best quality, the bathroom had been refurbished and had 2 wash basins, side by side, which left almost no space to use the toilet. The bath had a shower head over but no shower screen or curtain. Given it's positives the hotel offers good value but, for us, the negatives outweigh the positives and we wouldn't recommend staying here.
