We had a couple of nights to pass before our ferry from Cherbourg, so we chose the other side of the Cherbourg peninsula and Granville, as we had not been to that side before. We had a very nice stay in a seaside area, at a pleasant hotel which lived up to the Mercure standard. The receptionist couldn't have been more helpful in moving us from a double to a triple (we had a small child with us but couldn't book a triple online). I believe the doubles are a little on the small side but the triple was excellent for a family. The buffet breakfast was a little pricey but good value for those able to take advantage of it. Apparently, they can pick up UK tv when the weather is good, but it wasn't that great when we were there !
The only negative is the underground parking is t-t-t-t-tight, and if you are of a nervous disposition, do not try parking down there.
