Hôtel Mercure Omaha Beach

This is a hotel on the golfcourse which are worth to play, the hotel is outdated. The corridors are very dark with little lighting. The rooms are reasonable in size, the bathroom is rather small with very poor lighting, difficult to shave and for the ladies to make up. The shower is in the plastic bathtub which is extremely slippery, the shower gel is located at the other side of the tub, so you have to move from shower to bathgel, this is very dangerous, so take care that you don’t slip. The breakfast was ok nothing special but good. An excellent golfhotel but take care, The restaurant in the golfclub is not our choice, not expensive but not special at all.

Stayed 6 nights in early May 24. Delightful hotel. Wonderful location with excellent amenities. Excellent proximity to all Overlord historic activities. Very helpful staff. Had many meals there and the food was very good. Addition of the golf course was a plus. Didn’t play it but it was very well maintained and added to the openness and general beauty of the property. We found everyone associated with the hotel or golf course to be friendly, outgoing, and very interested in ensuring our stay was the best they could provide. We were very pleased with our whole stay.

The hotel itself is beautiful, the rooms are very spacious and comfortable especially for European standards, my problem was with the restaurant. First, breakfast was great! Dinner… I was part of a tour group and we were not given a choice of what to eat, we were severed dry overcooked chicken twice in four nights, one was supposed to be steak, but we didn’t rate steak apparently. If you are expecting fine French cuisine - don’t! This is cafeteria food and of which I’ve had better in Army chow halls. Very, very disappointed!

We were given a room in which the door to the terrace was broken. There was no doorhandle and the door couldn’t be locked. This meant that just anyone could enter our room and steal our stuff. When we went to the reception “Ines” told us she would find a solution. She never did anything and when we went back to ask again they told us there was nothing they could do. “Collin” very rudely asked what we wanted her to do and then she told us she’s no technician and no other room was available. So we just had to accept it, nothing was offered for our inconvenience. This CAN NOT happen in a hotel… We did not feel safe at all. Also our room didn’t get any robes, while others did. The hamman sauna was out of service as well. This would all not have bothered me this much, if they would just have been kinder to us…

We had a wonderful lunch and one night stay while in Omaha Beach to tour the D-Day beaches and memorials, very moving and beautiful. Bayeux was also a lovely walking town not far drive from hotel.

Property was nice and staff were nice. Disappointed because we booked this hotel with the knowledge it had a spa and massage available. More than a week before our arrival, I sent the hotel a message to see about booking a massage for my wife. I never received a response. When we arrived, I was told that the massage service was closed for the season. If the hotel had responded to my message with this information, I could’ve made other plans. Other than that, our stay was fine.

They were so nice to me. I had had the worst travel day of my life and they made me feel calm and comforted.

The hotel is nice but the room we had on the 3rd floor was small and there was an elevator only to the 2nd floor so we had to carry our bags up quite a few stairs. The bathroom was small and the tub was very high and not easy to get into. The utility bar is in the tub instead of on the outside which does not help one get in or out. The mirror in the bathroom is so high I could not see myself to use it. Our tour group had pre planned dinner there 2 nights and it was good and the staff was attentive. The breakfasts had a very good variety to choose from. Nice patio area to have a cocktail too.

If you are there to golf, it's a great place. Service is excellent. It's not close to anything you can walk to. Needs a little maintenance.
