Sainte-Thérèse-en-Pays-de-Falaise, Normandy hotel rooms at the Independent

"We really appreciated the professional and friendly staff here after a long journey. They looked after us and made us feel welcome. The bar area is smart, the beer and breakfast was great. Would definitely recommend. "

"A quiet, clean room, with a compact bathroom. I especially appreciated having an elevator to get luggage upstairs. Pleasant, helpful desk staff"

"The experience was AMAZING! The best thing was the room. We are a family of 4 and the hotel provided us two connected rooms which have two bathrooms. The breakfast was delicious. The service was wonderful - everyone was extremely kind and helpful (despite the language barrier). The place was also near to the city and 2 minutes away were plenty of restaurants and cafes to eat dinner. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely recommend. "

"It was adequate "

"Wonderful staff and lovely breakfast."

"The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful during our entire stay. The hotel is clean and the breakfast is very good. I would not hesitate to stay here again in the future. "

"It is a motel. It is cheap. It is not in a convenient location - apart from being only 15 minutes from Caen ferry port. Make sure to bring your own food and drink. The facilities are lacking. (Though the paddel club across the road serves pizza until 19:00) OK for the price compared to hotels nearby. Not the cleanest, not the worst. Won't stay again unless absolutely necessary."

"Room was smaller than expected, very tight to unload two suitcases, but I guess it is Europe. Beautiful view of court yard outside. Walkable to the old city, churches, and many restaurants "

"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. "
