We were not as impressed with the hotel as we were hoping to be given the 5-star rating and the relative expense. I suppose the proximity to Mont Saint Michel accounts for that. But compared to several of the other places we stayed on our month-long trip to France, L'Ermitage was disappointing. Our room was quite comfortable, clean, and roomy, no issues there at all. The public areas, however, were just a little shabby - dying flowers on the reception desk, throw blankets covering the dining room chairs, the hotel manager serving as porter, reception clerk, and waiter. I don't recommend the restaurant - lobster is their specialty and mine was served almost raw. Overall, it was not a good value.
