We were at this hotel for a large group event. I can't say enough about the welcoming attention we received from all the staff, especially the hotel manager-a top notch group who made our visit very special. Rooms were small, but very clean, comfortable and quiet-it met all my requirements! Thanks for taking care of us!
Nice rooms but average restaurant

We stay at Hotel Colbert when we travel to the South of France from either Saint-Malo or Cherbourg. We have always liked this hotel, very convenient and easy to reach from motorway. Rooms are modern, very pleasant, and very quiet. Being French we always found ladies at reception very pleasant and friendly. So accommodation good.
However, during our 2 visits in July 2017, we have been very disappointed by the restaurant which used to be very good and very good value for money. Apparently the restaurant La Manufacture is not run by the hotel any more but by another entity. The result is that food either from the Ardoise menu or a la carte is extremely average and badly cooked, and very expensive for what you get. For instance, even the "piece du boucher" taken on 17/07/17 was not cooked as medium rare, and very thin. That piece of meat should be called "piece du boucher" at all.
Breakfast on 10/07/17 was very good and really full of all kind of nice choices, but unfortunately, for unknown reason, breakfast on 18/07/17 was disappointing, because when we arrived in the breakfast room, half of the dishes like eggs, bacon and sausages were empty, there were no croissants anymore, and the cold meats and cheeses were half empty and very poor. Moreover there was no move at all to put more food on the buffet.
It is because of the restaurant disappointment that we put "average".
Next time we will definitely stay again at Hotel Colbert, but we will eat somewhere else, if nothing is improved in the restaurant.
Also to finish this review € 10.00 for an open parking is expensive.
Excellent value

We stayed at this hotel on two separate nights during July and could not fault it. The rooms were clean and well proportioned. Room service and breakfast provided in the restaurant were very good. Both receptionists we dealt with spoke English well and were extremely helpful. Although the personnel gate to the hotel's car park was not locked there was a coded vehicle access and we felt our car was secure.
The only fault I could find was the possibility of night time noise from the railway nearby but with the window closed together with the excellent shutters this was not a problem. We did not use the hotel's restaurant in the evening.
Typical Best Western - good value

We stayed here after a bad experience elsewhere. We like Best Westerns because you can rely on a clean, comfortable stay. It was a nice, comfortable sleep. For the money, it is a nice place to stay. Great location.
Bad for business trip

Chaotic reception; just one person, and she was VERY stressed:
-bad English understanding
-very bad explanation about the hotel, how the room key works for example. (Old fashioned system)
-noisy road and bar opposite the hotel, not sound proof rooms. (Very bad discussion about that with the reception in the morning; better to listen to clients instead of interrupting: it took a lot of pressure to get a slightly better room for the second night)
-The parking is next to the hotel, but the fence door is not working (picture), so anybody can use the entrance, which is not safe.
-Breakfast has no fresh boiled egg and jus de orange is from the automatic machine.
-restaurant is TOO expensive; price quality is crazy.
-mini bar.... that's really a laughter: 40gram of candy: when used 3 euro. (Free sample candy from Haribo)
Bottle of Evian 4 euro.... come on!!!!
SHAME "best Western"
