Hôtel Mercure Omaha Beach

Location: The hotel is ideally situated for exploring Omaha Beach and other WW2 sights, including Normandy beaches. It's a perfect starting point for visiting attractions like Gold Beach, offering a peaceful and reflective environment.

Reception staff very nice and helpful. Restaurant staff not so much..struggled to smile. Food left “a lot” to be desired. Buffet for breakfast ok but you cannot order anything à la carte. Dinner was just ok. Only at there once! Rooms are dated, flooring in “Superior” room super hard on your feet and they don’t provide slippers. Bathrooms were the worse! The smell of urine out of pipes, drains in both of our rooms was awful. Really made our stay unpleasant. Would it recommend or go back.

Picked this hotel for 4 nights near Bayeux because it had the things we like in a hotel - pool, safe, fridge, parking… only to discover that there was no fridge. I had to point out I had booked direct on the Accor website which had this information. At this point they were very apologetic and offered to put things in the bar fridge for us. This sort of worked ok. The staff here were unfailing lovely and helpful. Not all the hotel has a lift to it. The room was quite comfortable though not huge (small bathroom) and they kindly gave us a room with a balcony which I had not been able to choose on booking for some reason. On a 4 day stay in the summer we used it a lot. The beds were really comfortable and there was plenty hot water. The pool was heated and quite pleasant even on a grey day. It's a bit isolated but in fact it's possible to walk to the centre of Port en Bressin without walking along the road in about 20 minutes using footpaths. There are loads of restaurants there. The hotel does breakfast and dinner but we didn't use it. Some of the other guests were a bit noisy shouting at each other in the area around the pool without taking into consideration the fact that rooms overlooked the pool area.
