As other trip advisors have noted, the Hotel Le Normandie's website does NOT accurately reflect the decrepit condition of the hotel. After checking out the "standard" room, which was a hellhole that would not meet anyone's "standards," I paid to upgrade to a "superior" room. Yes it was a large room, but in poor condition (see photos). Broken furniture, stained carpets, and the hot water was almost non-existent when it came to bathing. In addition, the first and last meal I had at the Hotel Le Normandie was certainly the worst meal I had in several weeks of traveling throughout France, and one of the worst I've had in about 10 years of visiting various regions of France. (Monsieur Bibendum, are you listening??) I found the staff to be extremely jaded, offering poor service - except for a kindly young man who was handling the cheese cart duties. What really hurt was the 6 (!) euros I was charged for a cup of coffee (a total breakfast at the hotel ran for 7-9 euros!). I was told the 6 euro charge was because it was a "double," even though I did not ask for a "double." When I brought it up with the manager, I received no recompense or even an apology. I thought, why am I staying here and supporting this place with my patronage?? Thankfully the manager let me leave a day early, but I was still charged a full fee for that night despite getting out of there by 3:00 p.m. It speaks to the magnitude of my unhappiness that I was willing to eat a sizeable night's lodging fee to depart. I would rechristen the place Hotel Le "Abnormandie" -- not up to the Logis standards at all.
