Was a great choice to be close to the train for those early train mornings. We used it as a jumping off point to go to Mont-Saint-Michel, rent a car (lots to chose from in the same square) and drive to the Normandy beaches and then train to Paris. It’s definitely in a great spot. Another positive is that you can use the train tunnel and walk to the other side of the train tracks where there is a bit of a mall and has a few good restaurants. We really enjoyed lunch at La Taverne.

Was hard to figure out how to get in to the hotel to check in and then hard to figure out how to correctly use the hotel key to get back in after hours. If the website could take that one extra step to tell you how to do those two things when booking would make a much better first impression. Other than that it’s a busy area with lots of people hanging around the front door, hence why they probably keep it locked a good portion of the time.

As we had a 6am train to Pontorson the next day, Hotel Mary's was just next to the station, which was ideal, although it curiously took us a little time to orientate ourselves to find it in the first place. We were allowed to place our bags in the dining room first, which they kindly brought up to our room later.

There were some vagrants near the station, and they were a little noisy at night, but we were snug in the hotel, so it didn't matter. The signage to recognize the hotel could be a little larger.

The bathroom exceeded expectations as it actually had a small shelf for soap etc, where so many other hotels we've stayed at did not. Loved the Light around the mirror.

No elevator, but we were helped bringing our luggage up to our room. Breakfast was just okay. Rooms were very small.

The location is excellent. They did not have a queen size bed, but only single beds placed together. We arrived early and had to wait over an hour for someone to open the door. However they did allow us to check in earlier.

The room is clean, both the beds and bathroom. The receptionist is kind and helpful. We enjoy the breakfast and we like the diverse sauces it offers. It is really near the train, bus and tram station, so it is convenient for us to deposit the luggage and to catch our train.

The room is smaller than expected, and we have to reconnect to the Internet every few minutes.

The welcome was outstanding. Maryse is an excellent and attentive front desk person. she single-handily took care of us and when we came back in the evening we found an impeccable room. I mean not just the cleanliness but also the the extra touch of folding our clothes and arranging our things. She calls it the “mom touch” (loosely translated from French). she even prepared us a last minute copious breakfast and two jambons beurre for our trip at an extremely reasonable price. Thank you Maryse, we will be back.

nothing! perfect place.

Excellent location directly across from the train and bus station which perfectly suited our needs on this short trip. Room small but adequate. Great value for money.

Mattress was lumpy but okay for just the one night. Otherwise room was fine.

The breakfast was great! The hotel manager was excellent, very helpful and friendly! He even brought fans to our room and an ice pack for my wife’s swollen arm. Thanks, Hotel St. Mary’s!

Better fans, but it was comfortable with what we had. Thanks!

Great location to the places I wanted to see. Staff very friendly and helpful. My room was clean, adequate, the free wifi was strong, TV functioned as designed, and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was filling with bread, cheese, meat, yogurt, fruit juice, granola, etc. I was very comfortable and enjoyed my stay. I recommend Hotel Mary's, Caen Center Gare.

Nothing.

Everything. The place was spotless, next to the Gare and has a very affordable breakfast.

It has no elevator, but Mary's was always ready to help you with your bags. I mention it in case you are going to travel with elder people. I think the stairs would be hard for them.
