This hotel was just ok. It was great to be able to open the windows and sleep to the sound of waves crashing, but other than that, everything else was just ok. We walked in and there was a dirty q-tip on the floor right outside of the bathroom. We're were doing a longer trip, so had heavier luggage. Instead of being directed to where the elevators were (past reception and around the corner), the person at the front desk watched as we lugged our heavy luggage up to the 4th floor. We went up to the rooftop, which was empty and we were not greeted by the bartender. Not a huge deal, but just a little offputting. If you want to eat right by the hotel, I'd recommend making reservations in advance. However, the walk into St. Malo is not far and there are a ton of great spots there. Le Cafe de Saint Malo has so-so reviews, but we thought it was great! There is a paid parking option, but all of the street parking right by the hotel is free. We traveled in late April and finding a street spot right in front of the hotel was very easy.
