My sister and I stayed two nights in this incredible hotel. Our room was about 10 feet from the ramparts of the Mt St Michel, and we were given a key to a door that let us out right on the ramparts. We spent a lot of time alone wandering the nooks and crannies of the village. The room and bathroom were small, but very comfortable and clean. The hotel is in the heart of Mt St Michel, our room had a view on the main street in the village. During the day the village is packed with tour groups but after 4 p.m. the village empties out and you get to experience the feeling of walking the village the way it has been for hundreds of years. The price was very reasonable, only 97 euro per night for a double and an excellent breakfast was available for 13 euro. The staff was helpful and spoke some english.

I just returned from a two-day sojourn at Mont Saint Michel during my last trip to France. It was somewhat difficult to arrange this outing. However, the new tour operators of Westcapades were very helpful in making my Mt. St. Michel adverture possible. I took a train from Paris (Montparnasse) to Rennes and was met by one of the owners of Westcapades who made it her business to make my experience a very happy one for a reasonable price. We drove first to Dinan, a medieval town with amazing wooden buildings, and then to Saint Malo, the wonderful walled city where Jacques Cartier was born, before arriving at Mt. St. Michel. My tour guide was informative and personable, but always gave me the opportunity to explore each destination for myself. Westcapades was willing to leave me overnight at Mt. St. Michel and pick me up on the return tour the following day: this proved to be invaluable, as one can only experience the magical side of this special place when allowed to overnight on site. I stayed at Hotel Croix Blanche and found it to be very reasonable, clean and comfortable. The staff was also very pleasant and other than a somewhat limited menu, I found this hotel most than met my expectations.

My husband, 8 month old son, and I visited here in October of 2000. The room was "cozy," and the bathroom(s) reminded us of a motor home -- but they worked fine! We had to hike about 4 floors up a spiral staircase (part of the charm -- really!), and the view of "the village" and the upper part of the church (lit at night) was WONDERFUL. It absolutely took us back in time, and was just simply beautiful. The staff spoke limited English, but were very friendly and helpful. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
