Novotel Bayeux

I did not like the size of the room, it was too small for a family especially taking into the account the price of the stay.

The staff were exceedingly welcoming and made our young daughters feel particularly at home. The facilities were very accessible for children with extra touches for them including a soft toy, sweets and puzzles upon arrival which were completely unexpected and absolutely perfect to cheer them up after a long journey.

Some of the interior decor (halls and landings) was starting to look a little dated but this is very minor. The shower in our room (2nd floor) was also a little weak. Everything else was good!

A/C is flaky-shuts down after about one hour

Nice location, ample parking, modern rooms, bar, very clean. Had the AC worked properly, I would've given it five stars. But with the inop AC, inop refrigerator, and BS answers from the front desk, then it's two stars.

We had three rooms and in all three the AC, which we could supposedly control, would shut down after about an hour. It'd display an error code, then we'd have to press the on off button again. Sometimes it'd restart, sometimes it wouldn't. The staff in the front desk said it was normal. Thumbs down. The front desk also said the room refrigerator is a minibar designed to keep your drinks at room temperature. It did just that. Go figure.
