Only stopped in so I did not have a long ride to the tunnel back to the UK in the morning. They let me check in at noon, room was dated but pleasant. Comfy sleep, nice shower and the bike was safe and sound in the car park. No complaints here.

We loved staying there. A nice spacious room with a view of the harbor. The decor is a bit outdated, however, it was very fitting for the area. The room had kettle and tea plus breakfast was inexpensive and lovely with traditional French style.
