Church of Saint-Calais

We stayed for 3 nights in August. We had booked a pine view room but when we got to our room we actually had a partial sea view as we were on the end room, on the corner of the building so this was a pleasant surprise. The hotel is in a lovely location right across the road from the beach. Staff on the front desk and in the casino and bar were friendly and helpful. Room was ok, lacking a few little touches like bedside tables on both sides and our bins were not emptied every day. The bathroom was a good size with bath and various shower heads and the toilet was separate. Parking is in a secure underground car park which is free for guests. We liked knowing our car was safe. The Casino is just slot machines, no live tables with croupiers. We didn't eat breakfast in the hotel, at €14 per person we thought it was pricey. We also didn't eat in the restaurant for dinner as the menu was limited and my partner has a severe nut allergy and there were nuts being offered with drinks in the bar and lots on the menu. The thing that disappointed us the most with this hotel is that the use of the swimming pool is not free for hotel guests, it cost €20 per person for 2 hours. Totally ridiculous and unnecessary. I appreciate it is part of the spa but I've never stayed in a hotel where paying guests are expected to pay further to use the facilities, whether in the spa or not. All in all it was a pleasant enough hotel for the price.
