Notre-Dame-de-Vie, Normandy hotel rooms at the Independent

"Beautiful classic Normandy style architecture, beautifully decorated, comfortable rooms, wonderful staff, outstanding service, excellent food. Perfect location in Deauville which is a special place. Loved it. "

"Great stay to explore Normandie. The breakfast spread was amazing. We had the family suite, 2 levels and very private. Bathroom and cups/dishes could be a bit cleaner, otherwise the rooms, bedding were all great. Free night parking right outside. Felt very safe at the marina. "

"A beautifully appointed hotel, with polite, friendly and professional staff, in a lovely part of France. Having a view of the sea is always special too"

"Excellent room and property, easy check in, very close to train station and quick walk to city center"

"It was adequate "

"What a great stay. "

"Wonderful staff and lovely breakfast."

"The service was perfect. For me, the room was cold and an employee kindly brought me a heater. I was very grateful. I ordered room service which arrived in only 20 minutes and was so delicious!"

"Friendly, helpful and very accommodating front staff. Breakfast was great - lots of options - especially like the variety of breads, jams and eggs. Beds were very comfy. After a long and busy day at the sights and museum in Caen, we arrived about 7 pm expecting to have a nice dinner and a glass of wine. Unfortunately the dining room was closed because they were hosting a bus tour group. Ugh!! rather disappointing - the staff suggested several local restaurants or take out. So we decided on a pizza take-out and when I went back down to the desk to have them help me order, the kitchen staff took pity on a little old lady and made us a very nice meal with salad - and a big glass of wine. That was a sign of "above and beyond" and very much appreciated. A suggestion would be have a portion of the restaurant partitioned off for guests who are not on a tour - even just a portable type screen. Interestingly enough we were from Canada and we could hear the people in the tour group talking about "back home in Canada" The dining room is beautifully appointed - outdoor patio looked very inviting - just that the weather didn't cooperate. Liked the parking lot - felt safe leaving the car overnight - rather than in a public parking lot or on the street. Very quiet - had a great sleep Would definitely stay again - and recommend it to others. "
