hotelF1 Saint Lo Hotel

The rooms were okay. The bottom floor seemed to be occupied by people living in the hotel which meant we had to navigate our way through a corridor of children's toys, bikes and prams.

Noisy. Families were clearly living in the hotel and the screaming children didn't stop until 2am. No front of house staff to assist.

I've been to F1 hotels three times before, but unlike the precious times, this time was awful. The hostess was okay, and it was proper (except the toilet), but it was hot and very, very noisy. It seems that whole families are not on vacation, but are actually living there. Men went to work in their lorry, early in the morning and tens of kids went to school. And they were not at all in the 'holiday-mood'. They were shouting and screaming. It looked like living in a bad 'banlieue'. I couldn't sleep until 24.00 o' clock, because they were talking loudly, outside, underneath my window drinking wine. It was very hot (39 degrees), but I couldn't open the window for some fresh air, because of all the noise of the kids playing, and people talking. And I had to close down the curtain, because people could see inside. I felt I had no privacy. Breakfast costs 3,50 but was worth 20 cents.

Easy check-in. Room clean but little room around bed - would be cramped for a family. Bed reasonably comfortable. My room fairly close to loo and shower - others not so close. Shower pretty good, lavatory less impressive - designed without seat and nowhere to wash hands. Breakfast basic but adequate; orange juice, cereal, bread, toast, jam etc. Coffee or tea. Parking good. Outside area for smokers. I'd stay again.

Perfectly adequate

noise in the corridor at night and in the middle of the night was unbelievable.
