No lift only narrow stairs. WiFi only available in the reception area at times. No hot water available on three separate occasions. Worst continental breakfast ever had. Constantly asking for breakfast items to be replenished. No safe, fridge or tea or coffee facilities in the room. A certain member of staff extremely rude and abrupt [ others very good ].

Stayed twice - on ferry in and out trips Reception service the worst I have ever had in France On first trip the hotel car parking was closed off due to local fete. We went to reception to ask what to do and got Gallic shrug - it will be opened when the fireworks end. Went back later and still nothing except same shrug. After a local policeman helped us get into the park and we finally got in at just before 11.30. Dumped bags and when down to get a drink and waiter sad at 11.31 "closed" even though they were still serving existing guests. Pointed out we were residents and got "Fermee" with no hint of help. As we were booked to go back on return I thought we would give them another chance. Car Park was full - asked were to go and got a point to municipal park and same shrug. He did however recognise the booking and got key. The phone then rang and he spent a considerable time negociating a new booking leaving me standing there. There is no lift (we knew that) but no effort or offer to help with luggage up steep stairs even though I was walking with 2 sticks. AVOID HOTEL DU PHARE AT ALL COSTS

Wonderful, great for late night ferry arrivals
We checked in just as the clock turned 11pm (it took all that time to get through passport control off the ferry), and thankfully the reception was still open. The man who welcomed us spoke good enough English, but allowed me to speak bad French to him! We parked in the municipal carpark opposite, which is free at that time of night, until 9am. We had to pay visitor's tax for all our party (not just the adults, as Hotels.com states), but it's only 90 cents per person. Our triple room was up two flights of quite easy stairs, and was delightful. Because of the layout, we had quite a lot of space for our bags. The room was presented beautifully, and was really clean and welcoming. It was double aspect, and had views of the lighthouse, ferry, and canal; despite this, it wasn't noisy in the morning. The shower room was very small, so this wouldn't be the room for you if you are of a larger size! We didn't eat at the hotel, as I favour the boulangerie in town for a first day's breakfast. We enjoyed our stay, and I'd absolutely stay here again in the future. I'd like to stay for longer.

A dangerous shower. Controls broken. Clearly damp with plaster peeling off the walls. A window that is broken and cannot be closed so you have to endure the noise of the HGVs heading to the Port. Horrible.
