The surrounding neighborhood was much rougher than the description made it out to be. It is in the heart of Seine Bight, where the locals that work on the peninsula live. The lot next to the Hotel had a trash pile burning. There are local houses on one side of the property with a lot of trash on the ground and individuals hanging out, talking to their neighbors.
They have a German Shepard that is young and energetic. It would nip at our kids when they tried to pet it. It would also run into our hotel room when we had the door open and were trying to get moved in. When I grabbed its collar to pull it out of the room, it turned and nipped at my hand. It never bit, but definitely made me fearful for the kids.
The hotel itself is right on the ocean with a pool in the middle. The kitchen was old and run down. The fridge door wouldn't seal and therefore wasn't cold. The countertops were stained and the bathroom looked dirty. It might have just been old and stained but it wasn't great either way.
The staff and owners were extremely nice.
After moving our luggage in, we decided to not stay as we didn't feel safe. We left that night and stayed in a hotel for the rest of our trip.
